Discover the new and improved integration with password vaults
Take password management to a new level with the new integrated capabilities for password storage and management.
You can now configure one or more dynamic agents, pools, or dynamic pools to interact with CyberArk or other password vaults and obtain the passwords required to run your jobs. Employing pools or dynamic pools guarantees high availability by automatically selecting the best-suited agent to contact the password vault.
- Enhanced security
- The new integration provides a centralized and secure solution for managing credentials, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and security breaches.
- Reduced operational overhead
- Automating password retrieval through integration with password vaults removes the manual effort involved in managing and updating passwords across numerous jobs and systems, freeing up staff for more strategic tasks.
- Increased efficiency and reliability
- Jobs are less likely to fail due to incorrect or expired passwords, as the system automatically retrieves the current credentials from the vault at runtime. The high availability ensured by using pools or dynamic pools minimizes disruptions.
- Flexibility and scalability
- The support for multiple password vaults and custom scripts enables integration with existing security infrastructure and easy scaling of automation efforts.
- Smooth integration
- Dynamic agents, pools, and dynamic pools can be configured to interact with a chosen password vault to obtain necessary passwords at runtime.
- Easy configuration
- The ability to create multiple profiles on agents provides flexibility for different password vaults or specific queries.
- Streamlined upgrade
- Existing users on versions 10.2.1 and later benefit from an automatic migration of their CyberArk configurations, simplifying the adoption of the new feature.
This feature requires all HCL Workload Automation components to be at version 10.2.4 or later.
In conclusion, the new password vault integration in HCL Workload Automation offers a compelling value proposition by providing a secure, efficient, and flexible solution for managing passwords in automated workflows, directly addressing key security and operational challenges associated with managing a growing IT landscape.
