What kind of database does Password Manager use?
In most deployments, Password Manager does not require an external database. Rather, it defers to current state on target systems as authoritative. Password Manager uses a built-in identity cache to store system configuration information and to cache user profile data drawn from target systems. The cache significantly improves the run-time performance of Password Manager, as it eliminates the need to repeatedly connect to target systems or to an external directory, to look up the same identity attributes again and again during the course of a session. The cache is not an authoritative data source — it simply holds copies of user profile data close to the application, to improve performance. The identity cache built into Password Manager: • Is not an authoritative source of data — it is flushed nightly. • Stores data in an industry standard format (xBase/DBF), which most third-party query and reporting programs tools can read directly or through a standard Windows ODBC driver.
