Administration

Sessions

Via the menu item Sessions, all users connected to the database can be displayed. This page is purely informative in character and thus no configurations can be made here.

The session view starts in the currently active module in a separate tab.

Locked users

All currently locked users can also be retrieved. There are two scenarios here:

  1. User name correct, password incorrect: The user name is displayed
  2. User name incorrect: The client is displayed

In addition, the number of attempted logins and the length of time that the user was locked in each case can be seen.

Database server

The database server stored here is used as a default value when rebuilding databases. There are 2 modes:

Simple mode

In simple mode, the path to the database server including the user and the associated password can be specified. You may use the service user for this purpose.

Extended mode

In extended mode, the connection string can be specified, which contains both the server, the user and the password

SMTP server

By configuring the SMTP server you define all settings for emails, which the server should send, eg via the notification system. At the final save, the connection is directly tested for functionality. The “Save SMTP settings” button becomes active only after a change has been made.

Log forwarding configuration

Here you can define the settings which logs will be forwarded via mail

General settings

What are general settings?

The general settings relate to users. Thus, each user can customize the software to their own needs. The following options can be configured:

Colour scheme

Various Windows colour schemes are available. The colour scheme Colorful provides e.g. different colours which make it easier to distinguish between the modules in the software. If the colour scheme is changed, the client must be restarted.

Language

The user can toggle between English and German. After changing the language, the client must be restarted.

Starting the application minimised in the notification area

You can start the client minimized if you wish to run Netwrix Password Secure in the background. You will be able to access it through the notification area.

Minimise the application on closing

If this option has been activated, the Netwrix Password Secure client will not end when the window is closed but will merely be minimised. It will continue to run in the background. It is then only possible to properly end Netwrix Password Secure via the main menu.

Starting with Windows

Of course, you can start the Netwrix Password Secure Client directly with Windows.
