Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for maintaining attributes associated with application servers. In particular, a system administrator can register a set of services associated with an application server. Before initiating, a service can need to be configured with a set of attributes. According to embodiments, a vault service associated with the application can validate a service requesting to be configured. Further, an attribute management tool can store attributes, such as passwords and other sensitive data, associated with the requesting service. Upon a successful validation, the attribute management tool can provide the associated attributes to the vault service, which uses the attributes to configure the service.
