Abstract:
System and method of providing administrative access to an endpoint server. In one example, the method includes receiving, at an admin server, a request for performing an admin operation on the endpoint server and a first portion of an admin key from a microservice server. The method also includes receiving, at the admin server, a second portion of the admin key. The method further includes generating, at the admin server, a copy of the admin key based at least in part on the first portion and the second portion of the admin key. The method also includes performing, via the admin server, the admin operation on the endpoint server using the copy of the admin key. The method further includes deleting the copy of the admin key on the admin server after performing the admin operation on the endpoint server.
