Dear Community,

 

Our CISO team wants us to use a separate local service account for each of our 4000 servers (3000 Windows and 1000 Linux)... Aside from the amount of work this will represent for the CyberArk team... does this mean I need to create/manage that many credential entries (with external storage and the credential ID) in ServiceNow?? Or can I create only one Windows and one Linux credential and CyberArk handles providing the user/password each time? I'm asking here because the CyberArk team isn't very prompt to respond.

 

Many thanks in advance!

If you create separate account then you need to maintain unique identifier for each one. Why they want to create this many local account? It will be a nightmare to manage.

This one has a little similar issue : https://www.servicenow.com/community/itom-forum/servicenow-integration-with-cyberark-how-to-specify-...
