Options - Network

In the program's Options (Edit → Options or F10), the tab Network allows you to configure Enterprise Server connection settings for Password Depot.

Enterprise Server

  • Default authentication mode: Set a default authentication mode to log in to the Enterprise Server. If you choose an authentication mode, it will always be pre-selected in the Enterprise Server login window by default. This way, you do not have to manually select the required authentication mode each time you would like to connect to the server. The following options are available: Integrated Windows Authentication (SSO), Sign in with user name and password, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), OpenID Connect, Windows Domain Credentials, or WebAuthn/Passkeys.
  • Default domain name: The default domain name option allows you to predefine the domain name for PD Server authentication. This makes it easier for you to log in, as you only need to enter your user name. The domain name will be added automatically in the DOMAIN\username format.
  • Default UPN suffix: The default UPN suffix is an option that allows you to define the User Principal Name (UPN) suffix for PD Server authentication. Similar to the default domain name, this feature simplifies the login process, as you only need to enter your user name. The UPN suffix will be added automatically in the username@upn.suffix format.
  • User logon name format: Choose the appropriate logon format based on your organization's structure and security requirements.

    • Simple: With this format, you only need to enter your user name to log in. No additional information such as domain or UPN suffix is required.

    • <DOMAIN>\<sAMAccountName>: In this format, the user name is entered along with the domain. The input is in the form of "DOMAIN\Username". Here, "DOMAIN" represents the name of the domain where the user is registered, and "Username" represents the individual user name.

    • UPN (User Principal Name): In this format, the user name is entered along with the UPN suffix. The input is in the form of "username@upn.suffix". Here, "username" represents the individual user name, and "upn.suffix" represents the predefined UPN suffix. This option is helpful when users from different domains need to access the same server.

  • Internet Protocol version: Choose from three options (Auto, IPv4, and IPv6) for the internet protocol.
  • Automatically reconnect on network errors: If you check this option, the software will automatically try to re-establish a connection after errors pertaining to the network connection. Enabling this option makes the following two settings available:
  • Reconnect interval (sec): Set the time interval (in seconds) between the automatic reconnection attempts. You can enter values from 5 to 300 seconds.
  • Reconnect attempts: Allows you to set how often the program should try to re-establish a connection. Here, you can enter values from 1 to 10.

SSL/TLS Settings

If your administrator installed a certificate on the Enterprise Server, you can define the settings for the SSL/TLS connection to the server, i.e., whether the server certificate should be verified.

HINT: The option to specify whether the server certificate should be verified was removed with the introduction of version 19.0.3. For security reasons, the certificate must now be properly installed and validated.
