Abstract
A computer system includes a memory to store an application. A processor is configured to start the application, and insert a secret-server hook into the application during start-up. The secret-server hook has instructions to access a secret server with the secret information stored therein. In response to a call being made by the application for the secret information, the secret-server hook has further instructions to intercept the call, and provide the secret information in the secret server to the application based on the intercepted call.
