We have ran the pspca command and in the logs it states it was able to get credentials for some of the accounts. Now that we know it has stored the passwords somewhere locally, how can we retrieve the passwords?

Hello ​@NehaMehta  - you can use the API to use the Secrets Cache feature, please find the details on how to do this here: https://docs.beyondtrust.com/bips/docs/ps-cache

 

So long as the Secrets Cache is installed and connected, the cache is refreshed every five minutes by default and thus, should almost always have an up to date copy of your managed account credentials.
