Does anyone know of Password Repository software which has a SQL back end? We are not after anything with funky features (such as updating passwords where they are used if they are changed), just a repository for safely storing passwords, and restricting access to those passwords.
Plenty out there but the majority seem to have a flat file backend. We'd like one with a SQL back end.
Any recommendations?

We use Thycotic SecretServer as our enterprise password and key vault solution. It supports domain and two-phase authentication. Looking at this architecture document, it appears the product does use SQL Server as it's data store.

Also, if your requirement of SQL Server is driven by the need for integration, I'll add that in addition to a web application front end, SecretServer has a web service interface. For example, the PowerShell script that we use to provision new servers will call out to SecretServer to fetch or create service account passwords.

Just curious - why would you want a password hive with a SQL Server backend? seems counterintuitive to me (it's precisely what you wouldn't want IMO).

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
