Device42 provides customers with understanding and advanced visualization of their infrastructure and its inter-dependencies, and centralizes data center knowledge into a single source of truth making IT ecosystems clearly visible, understandable, and controllable. Idira is integrated as a Device42 endpoint, queried via the Idira protocol. The integration supplies passwords in response to D42 queries that provide Idira a username or ‘label’ field, results of which are then used by Device42’s auto-discovery to authenticate to client machines [never exposing the PW to the D42 user].
