Credential Management

Overview

Atomic OSSEC (AEO) credential management stores private keys for Secure Shell and Amazon Web Services API keys. These credentials can be reused to integrate with services such as:

  • SSH agent push installs, in the Add Agent section

  • Agentless monitoring, under Agentless Configuration

  • Amazon S3, integrations->Remove Archiving

  • Amazon Glacier, integrations->Remote Archiving

  • Amazon System Manager Parameter Store-> Agentless Configuration, or Agent push installs
