July 31st marks a turning point for Thycotic Software as we will be releasing the most anticipated version of Secret Server to date.  3.1 will feature two powerful add-ons: full Active Directory synchronization along with remote password changing. 

What this means for users...

By having the Active Directory add-on, you'll never have to add another user to Secret Server.  All actions made to both users and groups in Active Directory will occur in Secret Server. 

The remote password changing feature is perfect for companies that have security compliance guidelines to meet.  The administrator sets a date for when the password needs to be changed and once that day is reached, the password will automatically be switched.  The remote passwords covered by this feature are Active Directory, Windows and SQL Server accounts.

 

Other key features:

  • Secret expiration – Administrators will be able to set expirations on a Secret Type through the Secret Type Designer.
  • Password history – Secret Server will keep a log on the history of all password changes made to secrets (optional).
  • Enhanced folder options – The folders feature will be enhanced to allow for multiple sub-folders (nested folders). In addition, administrators can set default permissions to folders.
  • Password validation on logins – Administrators will have the ability to customize user login passwords by requiring or restricting special characters, numbers, length, etc.
  • IP Address restriction – Administrators will have the option of setting IP address ranges used for accessing Secret Server.
