Active Directory Integration
I am trying to run PWDepot server, but would like usernames/passwords for authentication to the server synced to active directory. Is this possible?

Hello,
right now this is not possible, but Active Directory support will be introduced in the next version of Password Depot Server which will hopefully be released in the next weeks.
Best regards

Has the new version of the server been released yet? I don't see anything on the web site newer than May 2007.

Re: Active Directory Integration
Will Active Directory Integration be implemented? v4 is out and no integration has been made.

Re: Active Directory Integration
Just the before the release of version 4 we decided not to add the Active Directory integration. It is currently not clear if this Active Directory integration is really senseful for our server solution.
If you disagree or have reasons why the Active Directory integration would improve the currenct concept of Password Depot Server please share your opinion here, and we will discuss it again internally. Thank you!

Re: Active Directory Integration
Hi,
We have just finished the evaluation of Depot v4, one of the features that we were waiting was the AD integration.
We see a lot of benefits on that, to name a few:
1) Easy administration: No need to create users/groups, only associate ad users/groups to the data file;
2) Single sign-on plataform: Users would not need to have a second user/password to login to the depot server;
3) Since Depot uses a symetric algorithm to encrypt the data, is true to say that the password-data is as safe as the password chosen by the user. Integrating with Active Directory would benefit from AD Password Policies and thus make Depot Server compliant with most of the Security Policies that enterprises enforce now days. This is actually one of the reasons that we are holding our 500-lic upgrade to version 4. You could at least, if not integrating to Active Directory, enforce a password policy to depot users.
4) Integrating will also benefit from extensive Auditing that Active Directory has;
Hope this help and keep the good work.
Cheers,
Arley

Re: Active Directory Integration
Hi Arley,
I still have no feedback from the product manager concerning the AD integration. They are working on the spezifications for version 5 and there is no decision made, if AD will be supported or not.
Thanks for your patience.

Re: Active Directory Integration
Hi,
we are very interessed in your password tool and an AD integration would be a big plus for your program vs. other competitors.
But for us it would be sufficient if only users and their passwords would be synced with or connected to the AD.
When will V5 be released?
Greetings

Re: Active Directory Integration
Hi,
I was hoping to find this feature on the next release schedule.
We just bought a 50 user license and assigning AD Users would be very helpful.
Hope the product manager is open to those reasonable arguments from arleybls.
Bye
