enterprise tool for password management ?

Hi,

I'm looking for software that can protect the multitude of passwords that we
use in our company, both for our internal IT as for our clients' servers.

I have the following requirements:

- multi user and accessible preferrably via a browser
- decentralized management : users should be able to maintain their own set
of passwords for which they are responsible (e.g. internal IT support should
be able to update their own passwords, but only be able to see certain other
passwords, and have no access whatsoever to other passwords
- possiblity to print the entire set of passwords (for external storage in a
safe)
- it would be nice if we can add extensive notes to certain passwords or
sets of passwords (e.g. documentation on how to access a system)
- possibility to keep expired passwords (in case a passwords change was
forgotten and we need to retrieve the old password)


I've found so far one tool that claims it can do most of this, enterprise
password safe by argosy telcrest), but I've read some negative comments
(anonymous comments) about this software on the securityfocus website
(http://www.securityfocus.com/comments/tools/3864/36636/threaded)
I'm not sure of the validity of these comments (I'm not too keen on
anonymous posters).

Can someone recommend this product, or suggest other tools that might do the
job. I assume every company of some size faces the same problem that excel
password files are just nog safe enough ?


regards,
tom.
