If you are a commercial application developer, or create custom applications for your business, consider how beneficial it would be for your end users, or other applications, to never require entering a username and password for connectivity. If the tools stored credentials automatically, end users like database administrators, would never need administrator rights to access a database if the tools stored credentials automatically. Management tools for services, remote access, and infrastructure automatically would recognize the logged on user, the asset they are on, and seamlessly request and pass credentials. The PowerBroker Password Safe API makes this a reality.
Securely Enable DevOps in a Manner The free PowerBroker Password Safe API is designed to provide better security for all applications that require a user or application to enter static credentials for normal operations. Developers can call the PowerBroker Password Safe API and retrieve the latest credentials for the user, application, infrastructure, cloud solution, or database to authenticate and release the credentials upon termination of the session. This can trigger automatic randomized cycling of the password or other automated processes to meet business objectives.
The end user is never exposed to the username or password and all authentication is performed behind the scenes with complete activity auditing if desired. Management of the credentials, API, and assets is all provided from within BeyondInsight, PowerBroker’s centralized management, reporting, and analytics console.

Key Features
SECURE CREDENTIAL MANAGEMENT
Instead of entering static credentials, developers call the PowerBroker Password Safe API and retrieve the latest credentials for the user, application, infrastructure, cloud solution, or database to authenticate and release the credentials upon termination of the session. This action then triggers automatic randomized cycling of the password. The end user is never exposed to the username or password and all authentication is performed silently behind the scenes with complete activity auditing if desired.
SIMPLIFY DEVELOPER ACCESS
Improve the agility and responsiveness of IT by never requiring the entry of a username and password for connectivity to create custom applications. End users, like database administrators, never need administrator rights to access a database if the tools retrieve stored credentials automatically. Management tools for services, remote access, and infrastructure automatically recognize the logged on user, the asset they are on, and seamlessly request and pass credentials for the application.
OVERCOME LIMITATIONS TO SSO
Since credentials can be passed within the application itself, directly from Password Safe, IT can secure runtime and avoid hacking techniques like Pass-the-Hash. This approach is far more secure than Single Sign-on (SSO).
SAMPLE CODE TO GET STARTED QUICKLY
To enable developers to access the API, and help secure their applications, BeyondTrust has made available sample code in the following formats: C# (.NET), PowerShell, Ruby, Python, Java, and Bash shell.
FREE API
BeyondTrust offers the only privileged access management solution for password management and storage available for application developers and users for free through a public API.
