The Central Policy Manager automatically imposes the organizational security policy by routinely changing passwords on remote machines and storing the new passwords in the Enterprise Password Vault, all without any human interaction. The CPM has been designed to be capable of generating new random passwords and replacing existing passwords on remote machines and saving the new passwords in the Enterprise Password Vault. Passwords monitored and generated by the CPM conform to the Master Policy created by the organization. Administrators will be notified via the PVWA when passwords are about to terminate, are terminated, or do not meet the Master Policy criteria. Administrators can implement a one-time password policy (OTP), which requires a password to be keyed in each time a user logs in with the existing password.
