Many applications require passwords or keys in order to access 3^rd party API’s, databases, or external resources. By integrating these applications with the Secret Server API you can avoid built-in application credentials and ensure proper control and management of these accounts.

Automation of complex tasks is crucial for Administrators and DevOps teams to eliminate human error and allow the organization to scale. Any complex automation build out will require access to passwords or keys to call API’s and access data.

You can build out custom workflows using your favorite scripting language with the Secret Server API to eliminate passwords embedded in scripts and build tasks. Secret Server has both SOAP and REST web services API’s, and can be integrated with using any programming language, such as .NET, Java, Python, Ruby, PowerShell, etc.

The API enables different teams to secure their privileged accounts and ensures that all sensitive credentials are stored and managed in Secret Server. DevOps can integrate their provisioning scripts to automatically create Secrets for new accounts. Developers can tie their build and deployment processes to use stored accounts in Secret Server.
