How does AccessMatrix Universal Credential Manager work?
AccessMatrix UCM Interactive Access
The below schematic describes AccessMatrix UCM in Interactive Access mode.
Step;
|
1.
|
UCM Creator creates the initial electronic envelop and assign the access control policies
|
|
2.
|
UCM Owner owns the electronic envelop for a specific application/server and writes the password in the created envelop
|
|
3.
|
UCM User requests a Read Access to the privileged ID and Password
|
|
4.
|
UCM Approver approve Read Requests to the privileged ID and Password for normal workflow (e.g. standard business hours)/ UCM Custodian approve Read Requests to the privileged ID and Password for emergency workflow (e.g. outside business hours)
|
|
5.
|
UCM User check out Credential Info and login to application/server
|
|
6.
|
Once UCM User needs no longer access to the application/sever he/she notifies AccessMatrix UCM
|
|
7.
|
UCM Owner resets password of the application/server and updates the electronic envelop
|
|
8.
|
Auditors can read audit reports regarding requested Credential Info

AccessMatrix UCM Programmatic Access
AccessMatrix UCM enables organizations to retrieve user IDs and passwords for specific applications during run time so that the user credential information does not need to be hard-coded in applications or command files.
UCM provides two integration approaches that enables software developers to rapidly integrate their applications with UCM:

UCM provides two integration approaches that enables software developers to rapidly integrate their applications with UCM:
|
1.
|
Application APIs - A set of flexible and simple APIs retrieves the current IDs and Passwords from the UCM server.
|
|
2.
|
Command line utility (UCMRun) - Enables dynamic replacement of IDs and Passwords in command files with no coding effort.
