Application-to-application password management refers to securely storing and retrieving passwords used by applications, scripts, or services without human intervention. Instead of embedding static credentials in code, this approach centralizes credentials in a secure vault and enables automatic, just-in-time access.
Devolutions Server with the privileged access management (PAM) module, when integrated with Remote Desktop Manager, facilitates application-to-application password handling. It allows credentials to be injected into sessions or retrieved by scripts without exposing them to end users. This reduces the attack surface and simplifies credential rotation and auditing.
For example, an automated script needing SQL Server access can dynamically request the credentials from the vault at runtime, ensuring both security and flexibility. This practice helps secure sensitive operations and supports compliance by enforcing access control and logging all password usage.
