Hey Community, 

I’m looking for a way to manage service accounts via automation from Password Safe that will update credentials for service accounts that are used on Canon copier models MDF iR-ADV C5860 & MDF iR-ADV C5850. Is there a way to do this? I believe they use a proprietary OS called MEAP and their documentation is not very robust. Thanks!

Hello ​@mike.wheeler 

In order to manage the credentials on a device Password Safe would need a way to remotely connect to the device and run commands to update the credential. I don’t see any SSH access allowed but I do see there is a MEAP SDK that might allow this. That SDK is not something I am familiar with.

If you can find a way to remotely update the credential with a script you could create a propagation action to run the script.

The workflow would look like the following.

Password Safe rotates the password for an AD Service account.

Once the password is changes successfully Password Safe can run your propagation action script to update the locally stored SMTP, SMB or LDAP password for the service account.

If you have any questions on this please let me know.

 

Regards,

John

 


Thanks ​@jchandler  for the suggestion. I’ll see what I can learn and report back here.
