so, we've got a ton of passwords that several different administrators need to have access to, each with their unique password/key/user/whatever... it needs to be either centralized, or the passwords database need be synchronized between all admins. any simple suggestions for a solution here? most machines operate on either RH/CentOS or OpenBSD...

  • Which kind of access? Un*x passwd database, Samba or more confined solution? Did you use nis, radius or other such a centralized solution? Commented Jan 22, 2013 at 7:50

Depending on your threat / work model, LastPass Enterprise might be exactly what you're looking for. It's a web-based password management service, allowing access from pretty much anywhere that has an internet connection. As long as you've got a browser, you should be able to get at the site. It might even work with ncurses-based browsers if you're lucky!

Features:

  • Shared password management.
  • Random password generation.
  • Passwords encrypted on the server, unlocked by user passwords.
  • Detailed access reports.
  • Easy revocation of access.
  • Various export formats, including CSV, in case you ever want to import the passwords into a local repository like KeePass.

At time of writing, prices are 24 USD per year for an enterprise account that gives you up to 100 users, and they offer a free trial.

    Oh, and in case you're wondering, I've got no affiliation with them whatsoever - the above is simply based on what's on their site and what I've heard other say! :)

  • @episteme Any particular reason? A breach of the site shouldn't result in any passwords being stolen, since they're encrypted with the master passwords of the users.
