MyPass Password Manager Architecture

MyPass Cloud allows for easy integration into multiple Microsoft Active Directories through one single implementation. The following illustration describes and demonstrates the architecture of MyPass Cloud. From a user’s perspective, MyPass should be available at any time the user needs to make use of their credentials. MyPass has delivered a client that enables the user to access MyPass even when the user can’t login via the Windows Login prompt. Basically, MyPass Cloud is offering a web-based self-service offering to maintain passwords in the enterprise.

Component	Description
Backend Server	Implement the control of all end-user transactions, communication to the Gateway Server, scheduled discovery of users in the domain infrastructure, control and coordination of password synchronizations, invitations of users etc.
Client Server	Implements the Web-interface for the end-users and communicates with the Backend Server.
Gateway Server	Implements access to the domain infrastructure and other Password Sync target systems.

All three main components are already installed by default on the Password Manager Server and directly configured to operate together. A full implementation can be built on additional Client Servers and Gateway Servers.

MyPass With a Gateway

MyPass deployment with indirect connectivity via a MyPass Gateway into your corporate network.

Pro's	Con's
Single point of entry into the company network	Server maintenance and patching is needed on the gateway
All platform instructions make use of a single secure gateway tunnel	Gateway server downtime affects all integrated systems
Additional integrated systems can make use of native protocols and still communicate securely over the gateway tunnel
SMTP forwarding capabilities using the secure gateway tunnel

MyPass Without a Gateway (Not Recommended)

MyPass deployment with direct connectivity into your corporate network

The MyPass Password Manager Server is built off of multiple sub-components. Each sub-component offers its own set of functions contributing to the entire solution itself.

Pro's	Con's
No gateway server hardware	Relies on additional integration systems to support 443 TLS
No gateway server maintenance	Multiple points of entry into the company network when integrating more systems
