Are non-Central Policy Manager servers allowed to use the password upload utility?

Non-Central Policy Manager (CPM) servers are not permitted to use the password upload utility due to security and architectural reasons within the system. The password upload utility is designed to function under the control and supervision of the CPM, which centralizes and secures the management of passwords. Non-CPM servers do not have the necessary access controls or integrations to safely manage this process, leading to potential vulnerabilities if allowed. Therefore, they are explicitly prohibited from using this utility, ensuring that only authorized and appropriately managed servers handle sensitive password operations.

This restriction helps maintain a secure environment for password management and enforces the principle of least privilege, ensuring that only designated components of the infrastructure can perform critical operations like password uploads.
