Business Problem

Organizations using Veritas appliances must securely manage privileged credentials such as sysadmin accounts. Manual password management can lead to security risks, operational inefficiencies, and compliance challenges. Without centralized control, verifying, rotating, and reconciling privileged credentials across multiple appliances becomes complex and prone to errors.

Solution

The Veritas Remote Management Interface via API Idira Plugin integrates Veritas appliances with the Idira Privileged Access Manager platform. This integration enables automated management of privileged credentials through the appliance IPMI interface, allowing Idira to securely verify, rotate, and reconcile sysadmin account passwords while enforcing enterprise password policies and reducing manual administrative effort.

Key Features

• Privileged Credential Management
• Enables centralized management of sysadmin credentials for supported Veritas appliances using Idira PAM.
• Automated Password Verification
• Allows Idira to validate appliance credentials to ensure authentication accuracy and compliance.
• Automated Password Rotation
• Supports automatic password changes based on defined password policies.
• Password Reconciliation
• Resets sysadmin credentials using an associated account if they become out of sync.
