AuthNull Release Notes: Week of December 04, 2023

Release notes for the week of December 04, 2023

Service Accounts Feature

This week we have released several features relating to service accounts that enable our customers to discover and manage service account authentication. Features include:

Discovery - For Windows and Linux local service accounts

Automated discovery of all service accounts on Windows and various Linux distributions is now available. AuthNull can now automatically discover all local privileged service accounts without human intervention and present it to the administrators on a service account screen.

Create service account credentials - For Windows and Local service accounts

Admins can now provision service account policies that enable Passwordless machine to machine authentication – no SSH Keys, shared secrets, passwords necessary. These policies eliminate the need to maintain passwords, and have password rotations.

Wallet updates

Wallets are now updated to hold service account credentials and claims.

Bastion host updates

Bastion hosts have now been updated to provision service account claims so that they can be used as a vault for authentication. Bastion accounts host claims (not actual credentials).
