Yes, but certain requirements are needed.
Secret Server requires:
- .NET 3.5
- IIS 6 or 7
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005/2008 (Express Editions included)
- Specific file system permissions and Microsoft SQL Server permissions (See Permissions Needed in Secret Server KB Article)
- Full Trust under .NET
Secret Server requires Full Trust under .NET due to the following functions that are used within the software:
- Platform Invoke - used for RPC and installer (to detect permissions).
- Threading - Secret Server's background threads require Full Trust (A thread inherits from the class CriticalFinalizerObject which has a declarative link demand for Unmanaged Code).
- Active Directory Synchronization uses COM interop which also requires Full Trust.
What about the RackSpace Cloud?
Unfortunately Secret Server will not work since the Rackspace Cloud's Windows environment operates in Medium Trust. Please see
their wiki article for detailed information. However you can install Secret Server on a RackSpace Virtual Server.
