Abstract
A credential management apparatus performs a change process, an acquisition process, and a locking process. The change process is processing that periodically changes credential information of components that constitute a network. The acquisition process is processing that acquires maintenance operation information related to a maintenance operation of the network. The locking process is processing that locks the credential information of, among the components, a target component for the maintenance operation not to be changed based on the maintenance operation information, at least during the period while the maintenance operation is being performed.
Claims9
A credential management apparatus, comprising one or more processors, at least one of the one or more processors being configured to perform:
- a change process for periodically changing credential information of components that constitute a network;
- an acquisition process for acquiring maintenance operation information related to a maintenance operation of the network;
- and
- a locking process for locking the credential information of, among the components, a target component for the maintenance operation not to be changed based on the maintenance operation information, at least during the period while the maintenance operation is being performed.
A credential management method, comprising:
- acquiring maintenance operation information related to a maintenance operation of a network;
- and
- locking, among components that constitute the network, credential information of a target component for the maintenance operation not to be changed based on the maintenance operation information, at least during the period while the maintenance operation is being performed.
