First Claim
1. A password management system, comprising:
- a plurality of enterprise applications accessible by a desktop computer by providing user authentication information, wherein the user authentication information for a user is unique with respect to the user for at least two of the plurality of enterprise applications such that the user authentication information for the user for a first one of the at least two of the plurality of enterprise applications is different from the authentication information for the user for a second one of the at least two of the plurality of enterprise applications;
an application security data store that stores the user authentication information;
an authentication component;
a web server that communicates with the authentication component to authenticate a request for web services and forwards a request for the user authentication information;
an application server that receives the request for the user authentication from the web server for user authentication information;
a password management application executed by the application server, the password management application that requests the user authentication information related to one or more of the enterprise applications from the application security data store, the password management application further updates the unique user authentication information maintained by the application security data store; and
a password management client resident on the desktop computer in communication with the web server, the password management client uses single sign-on information to be authenticated by the authentication component and obtain the user authentication information for one or more of the enterprise applications from the password management application, the password management client further uses the obtained user authentication information to access the one or more enterprise applications.

Abstract
A password management system is provided. The password management system includes a plurality of enterprise applications accessible by local and remote desktop computers by providing single sign-on security information. Each of the plurality of enterprise applications require separate login information which is stored in a secure back-end system along with the single sign-on security information. Scripts located, for example, on remotely accessible servers and/or on the local desktop computer, allow a user to logon with a single sign-on and have access to the plurality of enterprise applications. The script uses the single sign-on security information, and perhaps other information, to authenticate the user and access the login information for each of the enterprise applications. The script is further operable to automatically interface with the enterprise applications through user input windows, such as by scripting login information automatically into the enterprise application login windows.

19. A method for logging into an enterprise application from a computer, comprising:
-
attempting to log into a password management system including a first server; receiving an out of service message from the password management system; logging into a backup password management system including a second server using a single sign-on login information; authenticating, with an authentication component in communication with the second server, the single sign-on login information to access a password management application executing on an application server; retrieving, by the password management application, a unique login information with respect to a user for at least two of a plurality of enterprise applications from a data store in the backup password management system such that the login information for the user for a first one of the at least two enterprise applications is different from the login information for the user for a second one of the at least two enterprise applications and wherein the unique login information is different from the single sign-on login information; providing the retrieved unique login information for the at least two enterprise applications in clear text to the computer; using the retrieved unique login information to log into one or more of the enterprise applications from the computer. - View Dependent Claims (20)
