Password offline availability (mobile phone) and in case of system crash

Ctrl + k

Published 5 years ago

Hello Community,

we use Devolutions Password Server in version: 2021.1.20.0
(no cluster)
--> Single MSSQL-Server
--> Single Application Server with DPS Server installed.

The instance for storing passwords and credentials is accessed by web url (not RDM FAT Client).

Now we have two questions:

Is there a possibility to access DPS Server outside of the company network (LAN, VPN, MPLS) ? --> Maybe via hardened Jump Host in DMZ?

What is, if the data center or core componentes like core routers crash or need to be restarted and we don't have access on the password vault instance?

Is there a possibility to export the IT-passwords to a secure location to access them, if there is no access on the dps server?

Thank you so far!

Best regards

Bepo

Hello,

For your question about the offline mode on the mobile application, sadly it is not available.

For your 3 other questions :
1- It is indeed possible, if you setup a VPN, to connect to your DVLS for outside the company network. As well as the hardened jump host.
2- If the DVLS machine is unavailable for any reason, a method would be creating a second node of your DVLS connected to the same database.
3- It is indeed possible to export the credential entries using our DVLS PowerShell module. Please see this page for more information about it.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Hello Érica,

thank your for your answer.

I quote:

1- It is indeed possible, if you setup a VPN, to connect to your DVLS for outside the company network. As well as the hardened jump host.
--> ok we will check if this is a possible use case

2- If the DVLS machine is unavailable for any reason, a method would be creating a second node of your DVLS connected to the same database.
--> that can be a soultion. But in the case that our complete data center is down or core routing not available we would need a extra infrastructure for the second node
--> We host DPS und MSSQL for DPS on a virtual environment
--> If we host a second node, is this in enterprise license included?

3- It is indeed possible to export the credential entries using our DVLS PowerShell module. Please see this page for more information about it.

--> I will check this out, thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

With the Enterprise Edition, you get 3 license keys so you can create up to 3 DVLS instances. For your information, here is the documentation to Deploy DVLS in a High Availability or Load Balanced Environment. It is also important to keep in mind that both DVLS instances connected on the same SQL database must share the same encryption keys. Here is the documentation related to Manage Encryption Keys.

Let me know if that helps.
