A system, method, and computer program product are provided to facilitate changing authentication information in an environment having two or more configuration items. Establishing a connection between the configuration items may require matching authentication information corresponding to the first configuration item with authentication information transmitted from the second configuration item. The system may include a repository storing at least one predetermined attribute corresponding to a configuration item, and a relation between the configuration item and another configuration item. The attribute and/or the relation may be updated by discovery that detects information regarding configuration items. In response to a request to change authentication information corresponding to the first configuration item, and based on the relation, an identification unit may identify a second configuration item influenced by the change. An instruction unit may initiate a change of authentication information transmitted from the second configuration item.
A system to facilitate changing authentication information in an environment comprising at least a first and a second configuration item, wherein establishing connection between the second configuration and the first configuration item requires matching authentication information corresponding to the first configuration item with authentication information transmitted from the second configuration item, the system comprising:
A method to facilitate changing authentication information in an environment comprising at least a first and a second configuration item, wherein establishing a connection between the second configuration item and the first configuration item requires matching authentication information corresponding to the first configuration item with authentication information transmitted from the second configuration item, the method comprising:
A computer program product to facilitate changing authentication information in an environment comprising at least a first and a second configuration item, wherein establishing connection between the second configuration and the first configuration item requires matching authentication information corresponding to the first configuration item with authentication information transmitted from the second configuration item, the computer program product comprising:
