Integrating Unix Discovery with Secret Server

Discovery is the process where Secret Server scans an environment to find accounts and associated resources called dependencies. Once accounts are found, they can be used to create new secrets in Secret Server. By using discovery, your Secret Server offsets the burden of keeping track of computers and accounts on your network. This can be especially beneficial when getting started on discovering and importing accounts in bulk, as well as having Secret Server find accounts and create secrets whenever a new machine or account is provided. Secret Server provides a wizard to help configure Unix discovery. You name the discovery Source, define the host ranges of the desired IP addresses, and choose a secret to use as credentials when scanning. The default command sets that Secret Server ships with discovers machines and accounts in most Unix environments.
