Citrix Password Manager

Citrix Password ManagerTM increases application security for all applications, whether delivered by Presentation Server or deployed to the desktop. Organizations may now centralize password management with IT for greater control, while users experience the productivity gains of fast, automated logons to Web, Windows, and host-based applications.

Password Manager is offered in three editions:

• Password Manager for Presentation Server
• Password Manager Advanced Edition
• Password Manager Enterprise Edition

Password Manager for Presentation Server provides single sign-on access regardless of how or where users connect to their applications, and enables users to reset their own Windows password or unlock their account through Citrix Web Interface. Federated logons are now possible to all types of trusted-partner applications (Windows, Web, and host-based), delivered by Presentation Server and accessed through Web Interface.

Password Manager has also been enhanced with greater application compatibility and extensible application definitions to make SSO-enabling applications quicker and more efficient. Administration may now be conducted by Active Directory Group providing greater flexibility and easier deployment, the process of changing passwords has been simplified and immediate confirmation provided, and users with more than one Windows account may now leverage their SSO credentials across their multiple accounts. For Government and security-conscious buyers, Password Manager is currently in the process of Common Criteria Certification. 

Password Manager fundamentally changes the typical approach for managing multiple passwords, centralizing password management and moving this important capability into the hands of the IT organization.

Application security is strengthened – Password Manager eliminates the need for employees to track multiple passwords by automating password management and centralizing it with IT.

User access is simplified – The logon process is fully automated - users simply log on once and Password Manager authenticates the user to all other password-protected applications.

Regulatory compliance is facilitated - Legislation such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) imposes stringent requirements for controlling which individuals can access which information and for protecting the privacy of consumers.

Help desk calls decrease – With Password Manager, routine password-related events are automated and made invisible to the end user. Users may also reset their own primary

Windows password – eliminating many time consuming and costly help desk calls.
Platform support broadens – Password Manager supports Windows, Web and host-based applications, whether the applications are delivered by Presentation Server or deployed to the desktop.

Implementation becomes easy – With powerful configuration tools, a task-based management console and no scripting required, Password Manager is easily configured in your existing environment.

As a stand-alone password management solution, delivered by Presentation Server or the Citrix Access Suite, or integrated with third-party products such as Strong Authentication, User Provisioning, and Context Management, Password Manager increases application security, speeds application delivery, simplifies user access, and facilitates regulatory compliance.
