Citrix Password Manager™ increases application security for all applications, whether delivered by Citrix XenApp™ or deployed to the desktop. Organizations may now centralize password management with IT for greater control, while users experience the productivity gains of fast, automated logons to Web, Windows® and host-based applications.

Introducing Password Manager 4.6
Password Manager 4.6 includes the new Password Manager Product Line:

• Password Manager for XenApp
• Password Manager Advanced Edition
• Password Manager Enterprise Edition

In addition to being a stand-alone Citrix product, Password Manager is included in the XenApp Platinum offering.

Password Manager for XenApp provides single sign-on access regardless of how or where users connect to their applications, and enables users to reset their own Windows password or unlock their account through Citrix Web Interface. Federated logons are now possible to all types of trusted-partner applications (Windows, Web and host-based), delivered by XenApp and accessed through Web Interface.

Password Manager has also been enhanced with greater application compatibility and extensible application definitions to make SSO-enabling applications quicker and more efficient. Administration may now be conducted by the Active Directory Group providing greater flexibility and easier deployment; the process of changing passwords has been simplified and immediate confirmation provided; and users with more than one Windows account may now leverage their SSO credentials across their multiple accounts. For government and security-conscious buyers, Password Manager is Common Criteria Certified, EAL2.

Introducing the Citrix/Hewlett-Packard Identity and Access Management solution
Citrix and HP have created a comprehensive Identity and Access Management solution that combines Password Manager with the HP OpenView Identity and Access Management suite.  The Citrix-HP solution enables enterprises to provide complete, secure information access to employees, customers and partners worldwide.

Introducing an opportunity to solve your business and IT challenges
Password Manager fundamentally changes the typical approach for managing multiple passwords, centralizing password management and moving this important capability into the hands of the IT organization.

The result

• Application security is strengthened – Password Manager eliminates the need for employees to track multiple passwords by automating password management and centralizing it with IT.
• User access is simplified – The logon process is fully automated—users simply log on once and Password Manager authenticates the user to all other password-protected applications.
• Regulatory compliance is facilitated – Legislation such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) imposes stringent requirements for controlling which individuals can access which information and for protecting the privacy of consumers. Learn more about achieving HIPAA compliance.
• Help desk calls decrease – With Password Manager, routine password-related events are automated and made invisible to the user. Users may also reset their own primary Windows password-–eliminating many time consuming and costly help desk calls.
• Platform support broadens – Password Manager supports Windows, Web and host-based applications, whether the applications are delivered by XenApp or deployed to the desktop.
• Implementation becomes easy – With powerful configuration tools, a task-based management console and no scripting required, Password Manager is easily configured in your existing environment.

As a stand-alone password management solution, or delivered by XenApp Platinum, or integrated with third-party products such as strong authentication, user provisioning and context management, Password Manager increases application security, speeds application delivery, simplifies user access and facilitates regulatory compliance.
