Functional scope

  • Global settings and User settings
  • Global User rights

Functions in the individual modules​

Operation

Operation of the Web Application has been based as far as possible on the operation of the Netwrix Password Secure client. Nevertheless, there are some differences that need to be noted and they are described here.

NOTE: There is also a Basic view in the Web Application. Everything worth knowing can be found at the following link: web view Basic view

Login​

There is no database profile on the Web Application. All databases approved for the Web Application will be made available. The following information needs to be entered to log in:

Database name

User name

Password

Login WebClient

After successfully logging in, the last database name used and the last registered user will be saved. You thus only need to enter the password for the next login.

Transferring login data via the URL​

The database name and user name can be transferred directly via the URL. The following parameters are used here:

  • database for transferring the database nam
  • username for transferring the user name

The parameters are simply attached to the URL for the Web Application and separated from one another with a &.

Example

You want to call up the Web Application under https://psr_Web Application.firma.com. In the process, you want the login mask to be directly filled with the database Passwords and the user name Anderson. The following URL is then used: https://psr_Web Application.firma.com/authentication/ login?database=Passwords&username=Anderson

NOTE: It is possible to only transfer the database. The user name is not absolutely necessary.

The previous WebAccess function has been replaced by the Web Application” in Netwrix Password Secure version 8.3.0. The completely newly developed *Web Application will act as the basis for the constant enhancement of the functional scope. The desired objective is to also provide the full functional scope of the client in the Web Application. The Web Application will thus be constantly enhanced. All of the currently available functions can be viewed in the Functional scope section.

WebClient

Netwrix Password Secure Web Application enables platform-independent access to the database via a browser. It is irrelevant whether you are using Microsoft Windows, macOS or Linux, it is only necessary for javascript to be supported.
