Privileged Access Management

Fleet Maintenance is compatible with PAM (Privileged Access Management), allowing you to eliminate the need for hard-coded application credentials embedded in applications, scripts, or configuration files. Allowing highly sensitive passwords to be centrally stored, logged, and managed within the Vault.
