CA Access Control Privileged User Password Management

Published: November 17, 2014

CA Access Control Privileged User Password Management (PUPM) provides secure access to privileged accounts, it helps maintain the accountability of privileged users’ access by issuing passwords, on a temporary, one-time use basis, or as necessary, and by auditing their actions. It also controls application use of system accounts by securing the credentials of these accounts and automating their password management.

Licensing Model

The CA Software is licensed by the number of Managed Devices specified on the Order Form (the “Authorized Use Limitation”). “Managed Device” means a virtual or physical system or application whose privileged account passwords are being managed by the CA Software, including but not limited to operating system instances, databases, applications, Command Line Interface Software Development Kits, Open Database Connectivity/Java Database Connectivity applications, Windows services and managed tasks, and managed configuration files.

When CA Software is used (i) in connection with a Managed Device or (ii) in connection with a virtual or physical system or application that leverages or interoperates with a Managed Device (a “Password Consumer System or Application”), each such use of the CA Software shall be counted for the purposes of determining the Authorized Use Limitation.

When CA Software is used in connection with multiple Managed Devices (physical or virtual) and/or Password Consumer Systems or Applications (physical or virtual), each such use of the CA Software shall be counted for the purposes of determining the Authorized Use Limitation. A “virtual” PC or server environment is created where Virtual Machine Technology (which applies to both client and server hardware) is used to enable multiple instances of an operating system(s) to run on a single computer simultaneously.
