Hi All,
1) your compliance officer is having kittens.... they don't call it
the "designated felon" position for nothin'
2) on non-windows systems, PasswordSafe is called MyPasswordSafe - the
file format is identical and you can send the encrypted store as
needed. That and a phone call and your clients' info is wherever your
team needs it. Oh look, more kittens 8)
3) if you need to control access (AAA), you should think about
federating your back office apps with a SAML server - like OpenAM.
Your team gets their own creds for your SAML server, it federates to
the backend servers with your {still secret} client's creds and gives
your team access.
why not keep things simple?
It sounds like you could get by with a plain Apache httpd install that
only serves https and requires a client side certificate for access,
there really is no reason to put this info on any other systems. Odds
are good you can serve this up from your office cable/DSL service
without too much trouble.
And, NO! none of this is appropriate for real client credentials -
also make your clients pick new random 12 character passwords
(MyPasswordSafe can generate them for you if needed) the odds are good
that the passwords you are sharing with your team are the same
passwords your clients use for personal email and all sorts of other
things too.
Mark - this is bad, really bad
