well for me these wonderful security consultant solutions are a pile of steamy smelly brown stuff which only intorduce another layer of pain to hinder the .net sys admin who is just trying to get onto the unix command line, these web based access systems are unstable, at the mercy of more administrators who are maintaining those systems, not to mention slow, and not 100% available
when compared to the unix command line running in putty on my desktop
next, how is your super single sign on system going to work with .net administrator tools which can only be started from OS level cmd line on windows and unix and which require yet another log on when they open ?
thanks but no thanks
password db will be just fine thank you
Milan.
Single-sign-on is not just the only solution you need in your environment. You may want to look at Identity Management tools as well. Based on your posts, it appears that your environment is in a complete mess, which you seem to be happy to live with. At which point, I will desist and wish you the best.

look lads,
we got a zillion systems here and they all have admin passwords and all kind of services users and passwords and hosts and passwords and ftp passwords
you get the picture
we got a zillion .net systems to administer and consequently 5 zillion passwords which...
we need to store centrally so that everybody in the admin team and in particular the offshores can find any password they need, and if they change the password they can update it in the password storage
the password storage should be a web based tool which can run on MS IIS
ist das kla ?
Milan.
You get what you pay for and I'm guessing this will not turn out to be very secure at all...

Hear hear!
Get all the passwords onto an A1 poster, have a few hundred printed and post it out to all your offices in India etc.
Presto! No more forgotton passwords!

This is a simplistic view on the benefits of Single-Sign-On, but it is something you should seriously look at.
