How to store application passwords not associated with a specific system in TPAM?

We have a collection of accounts and passwords not associated with specific Windows or Linux systems that we'd like to have TPAM store & present to authorized users, but they will not be (at this time) managed by TPAM.  These are typically associated with specific applications that run on various systems in our environment, but some are for external vendor sites (like access to a license management web page), or for a hosted product (like Proofpoint).  We have TPAM 2.5.919.  It looks like we'd have to create some kind of "system" in TPAM (assigned to an unused IP address) in order to have a way to create the account.  Is there a better way to get the accounts & passwords into TPAM without the overhead of creating "systems"?

Thanks for any suggestions.

    good day, your post has been moved to the TPAM forum. that way you can get assistance from one of out TPAM engineers. 

  • Hello,

    You are correct that TPAM is generally organized into a hierarchy of Systems and Accounts and that all Systems need to be assigned a Platform. However, the Platform that is chosen is only a concern if you plan to have the Accounts managed automatically.

    If you simply want to create non-managed or "placeholder" Accounts, then the only impact the Platform may have is on the particular fields that are available to fill out (ie. Unix, Mainframe, Windows type systems have some differences in the fields available)

    There is also an "Other" platform that you can select, which may suit your purposes. If you set all of these application accounts to the Other platform, then that would allow you to Filter and Sort the listings and reports based on this platform type.

    Let me know if this addresses your question, or if you have any more questions about this.
