The Autofill Add-on is used for SSO applications.

Integrating a database​

For connection to the database, the creation of a database profile is obligatory. The following information is required:

  • Profile name: The name of the profile. This name is displayed on the client
  • IP address: The IP address of the Netwrix Password Secure V8 server is stored here
  • Database name: Specifies the name of the database

Distributing database profiles via the registry​

There is also an option to distribute database profiles. The profiles are specified via a corresponding registry entry. The next time Netwrix Password Secure starts, the profiles are saved in the local configuration file. The database connection can be made with the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MATESO\Password Safe and Repository 8\DatabaseProfiles
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MATESO\Password Safe and Repository 8\DatabaseProfiles

These keys are structured like this:

  • HostIP: Server IP address
  • DatabaseName: Name of the database
  • LastUserName: The field for the user name can be specified here

profil-registry

Is the profile set with the following entries?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MATESO\Password Safe and Repository 8\DatabaseProfiles

Then the last used date base as well as the last registered user are created with the following ID, when you log in for the first time:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MATESO\Password Safe and Repository 8\DatabaseProfiles

note

When the corresponding registry entry is set and no related database profile exists, the profile is created at the next start-up. Profiles created like this can't be edited or deleted in the client.
