Managing passwords used when detecting information on configuration items disposed on a network

摘要

Disclosed embodiments include a computer system for receiving an encrypted password from an ID management system. The computer system sends the encrypted password to a decryption system, where the decryption system decrypts the encrypted password. The decrypted password is then transmitted to the computer system, and the computer system transfers the decrypted password to a configuration item disposed on a network. Based on the password, the configuration item sends data concerning the configuration item to the computer system.
