A long time ago at my previous company we wanted a central place where we could store passwords that were shared within the IT department. I setup Web Keepass at that time, but I'll admit it was kind of hokie because it was Java based.
At my current company (That shall remain nameless) we are currently using regular Keepass with a database file stored on a file share. This method works, but I much prefer having it on a central server like we did with Web Keepass, but this time I didn't want to use Web Keepass.
I also didn't want to fork over any cash for something like Secret Server when I knew that there would be just as good, or even better open source alternatives available.
Well I found an even better solution with TeamPass! It is not Java based, and runs on an Ubuntu LAMP server! From their page:
TeamPass is a Passwords Manager dedicated for managing passwords in a collaborative way on any server Apache, MySQL and PHP. It is especially designed to provide passwords access security for allowed people. This makes TeamPass really usefull in a Buisiness/Enterprise environment and will provide to IT or Team Manager a powerfull and easy tool for customizing passwords access depending on the user’s role.TeamPass also has the ability to authenticate with Active Directory using LDAP. I'll be writing about how to set that up in Monday's post. It's pretty simple, but you have to know a trick to make it work.
What do you use for password management at your company? Why do you use it? Let us know in the comments!
