Secret Server

Web Services and Integration with Third Party Applicatons

Secret Server provides a suite of Web Services to easily retrieve and update Secrets and folders. The flexible nature of Web Services allow Secret Server to be accessed using Secret Assistant, the iPhone app, third party applications, and scripts. Proper authentication is required to access the Secret Server Web Services and all actions are audited.

Security in the API

All Web Service access should be done using SSL to ensure that the communication channel is secure. Secret Server uses a token-based authentication mechanism - this makes Web Service requests easier since the authentication occurs as a separate step and then the token is passed to each method. This token has a limited lifespan depending on the configuration determined by the Administrator of the Secret Server.
