Self Destruct Website (Push /Pull version)

Passwordstate has three ways you can access you Self Destruct Messages.

Using the Embedded Version

By default, Self Destruct Messages come pre-installed with your core Passwordstate website, and you’ll access your messages by appending /selfdestruct to your Passwordstate URL.

This method requires your users to have direct access to your Passwordstate website, using the default port you have assigned which is 443 unless otherwise modified.

Using Passwordstate AppServer

See the Passwordstate App Server Section of this document

Using the Push/Pull method

This method enables you to install a Self Destruct site hosted in IIS on any server of your choice. Your core Passwordstate webserver will “Push” messages to this separate website, where they will be stored waiting to be read. If there is any auditing information available at this time, it will “Pull” that information back to the core Passwordstate website.

The end user will then need access to this separate site to read the messages, which uses a default port of 443 unless otherwise modified.

At no time does the Self Destruct separate site attempt to contact your core Passwordstate website when using the Push/Pull method.

A System Administrator would typically set up Self Destruct messages using Push/Pull as the Self Destruct Portal does not need a port open from the DMZ back inside your internal network.
