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:
- User name correct, password incorrect: The user name is displayed
- 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.
Default password rules
Password rules can be defined for both user passwords and also for WebViewer exports that then need to be fulfilled. In the following example, a user password must correspond to the “default password” rule in order to be valid
Relevant right
There is a separate option for defining the password rules for named passwords.
User right
- Can configure standard password rules
General settings
What are general settings?
Within the general settings, surface settings regarding the colour scheme as well as the language used are configured. The password for logging in to the Server Manager can also be changed here.
Determining the system hash
This function determines the system hash, and copies it to the clipboard. This hash is used for the offline license.
Advanced settings
What are advanced settings?
Global standard default values are specified in the advanced settings.
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.
