PLEASANTON, California, December 11, 2007
AdventNet Inc., the leading
provider of affordable Enterprise IT management & IT security software,
today announced the immediate availability of ManageEngine Password Manager
Pro 5.0. In this release, Password Manager Pro (PMP) provides Password
Management APIs using which any enterprise application or command line
script can programatically query PMP and retrieve passwords to connect with
other applications or databases, thus removing the necessity to hard-code
passwords and facilitating easier & safer inter-application access.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is a privileged password management
software which serves as a secure vault for storing, accessing and managing
shared administrative passwords. It enables IT managers to enforce standard
password management practices such as maintaining a central repository of
all passwords, usage of strong passwords, automatically changing the
sensitive passwords, controlling user access to shared passwords and keep
record of all access to passwords across the enterprise.
"Hard-coding passwords in applications or scripts that access other
applications and databases, is an inefficient practice that could violate
enterprise security policies. Enterprises can make use of the Password
Management APIs in the latest release 5.0 of Password Manager Pro to
retrieve passwords from PMP and use them for access, making the process
efficient and more secure", said G. Rajesh, Director of Product Management
at AdventNet Inc. "ManageEngine Password Manager Pro simplifies privileged
password management for enterprises with an automated solution that not
only protects sensitive data but also enables compliance to
password-related security procedures", he added.

domains and applications, it has become essential to store passwords in a
safe, secure and functional way", said Phill Charlton - Infrastructure
