Account and Credential Management in Clustered Environments
The Segura platform offers native integration with Windows cluster APIs (Windows Failover Cluster, Cluster Shared Volume) and third-party clustering solutions (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, among others). This integration ensures the discovery, rotation, and management of service accounts and credentials in an orchestrated manner, without causing downtime or impact on the availability of clustered services.
Key Features
- Cluster Awareness: all operations (discovery, rotation, updating) are performed using cluster-aware APIs, ensuring service continuity and avoiding unnecessary node restarts.
- Third-Party Cluster Support: out-of-the-box integration with VMware vSphere and Hyper-V clusters, as well as compatibility with standard Windows APIs.
- Failover Management: the Segura platform coordinates actions across cluster nodes, respecting failover policies and minimizing the risk of interruption.
- Auditing and Compliance: all changes to accounts and credentials in clustered environments are logged and auditable, meeting regulatory and security requirements.
Example Workflow
- The Segura platform identifies services and service accounts associated with clustered resources.
- Credential rotation is orchestrated via cluster APIs, ensuring that all nodes and dependencies are updated in a synchronized manner.
- In case of error or unavailability, the Segura platform performs automatic rollback or isolates the affected node according to cluster policies.
