By means of the Active Directory connection which is available to you from the Enterprise Edition on you can take over available users and groups from your existing Active Directory hierarchy and import them to Password Safe. Hereby the users and/or groups will be imported to Password Safe and can be used afterwards for the giving away of rights and for the authentication/login at Password Safe. According to the configuration a login at Password Safe via Windows login is also possible (automated or manually).

It is even possible to build up the connection with several Active Directories as long as the domains have a position of trust among each other.

 

 

Tip:

Create own groups for Password Safe in your Active Directory, which you then import and synchronize. You can then use these groups for the giving away of rights within Password Safe.

You can of course also combine groups created in Password Safe with groups from the Active Directory. If a Password Safe group is defined as a member from an Active Directory group, this link will be deleted at the next synchronization of the accordant Active Directory group. If, however, an Active Directory group is in a Password Safe group, the link remains.

 

In order to configure the Active Directory connection, open the right management first (edit -> user and group management). In the right management a click on is enough to call up the Active Directory menu, or rather to read out the Active Directory.

•Read out Active Directory (user or groups, Active Directory complete)
