Abstract
An identity management ('IdM') system can change the credentials at certain intervals. If credentials change, there is no way for an application that uses the credentials to know that the credentials have changed because the application dependency relationships are unknown. When service account credentials change, credentials are typically manually updated for each dependent application. Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter allow IdM systems to track application dependencies for service accounts. The IdM systems can detect when service account credentials change and automatically notify dependent applications of the new service account credentials.
