RPC, Heartbeat, and Key Rotation

In Secret Server:

• Remote Password Changing (RPC) allows for automatic updating of remote account passwords when a secret expires. This ensures synchronization with domain password policies and enhances security by generating strong passwords (RPC Overview).

• Heartbeat functionality verifies the validity of stored credentials by attempting to authenticate with the target system. This has the potential to flag any discrepancies and prevent out-of-sync credentials (Heartbeat Overview).

• Key rotation, including SSH key rotation, involves regenerating and updating public and private key pairs and their passphrases, ensuring that keys remain secure and compliant with organizational policies.
