Extensible Design

As the Password Reset feature is designed around the use of PowerShell scripts, it provides a flexible architecture where customers can modify the default scripts provided for their own environment, or create their own to meet the requirements of their own infrastructure.

Connecting to Windows Servers to perform password resets, simply uses the power of PowerShell Remoting - which a lot of customers already use to manage their environment. Connecting to Linux/Unix/Routers/Switches can be achieved via SSH logins directly from the PowerShell Reset script, an connecting to database servers uses standard connectivity methods available in PowerShell and .NET.

• Local Administrator Accounts on Servers and Workstations
• Windows Services, IIS Application Pools and Schedule Tasks which are using accounts as their security context for execution or functionality

The Discovery Jobs have many filtering options available, and can also be configured to only send you an email report initially, without importing any account credentials into Passwordstate.
