Case Study: ZIT-RLP streamlines machine credentials management with Passbolt

Automating Machine Credentials Management

ZIT-RLP, a higher education IT center in Germany, faced challenges with its cloud-only password manager, 1Password, due to privacy concerns and a lack of on-premises control. They needed a secure, open-source solution to streamline the collaborative management of machine credentials for their team of IT experts and required API functionality for automation. This led them to seek an alternative to Passbolt.

By implementing the commercial, on-premises edition of Passbolt, ZIT-RLP gained full control over their data and a platform that fostered efficient teamwork. The solution's ease of use and API capabilities saved time and streamlined secret management, resulting in high satisfaction among IT staff and plans to further leverage Passbolt for automation, with the number of managed secrets growing from 200 to 600.
