Abstract
Mechanisms for securing dynamic discovery of an enterprise computing infrastructure is provided. One implementation involves maintaining enterprise credential information in a secured trust store, receiving an access request through a secure connection for access to a remote infrastructure component, determining the type of the access request, for a root-level type access request, responding to the request via the secure connection with enterprise root credentials from the trust store, and for an unprivileged type access request, responding to the request via the secure connection with unprivileged access enterprise credentials from the trust store.
