PS5 Update – High Availability Option
January 13, 2011 2 Comments
Hi Everyone,
Another feature we will be adding to Passwordstate 5 is an option for a High Availability, which provides a read-only copy of Passwordstate in case the main install is unavailable for whatever reason. Some details are:
- It will rely on SQL Server’s native data replication for keeping the data in sync
- The read only passive node will disable all relevant controls to prevent new data being written – see screenshot
- An option will also be provided which checks the active node is unavailable prior to making the passive node available to users
If there’s anything else you would like to see as part of the High Availability feature, please let us know.

Looking good, when do you expect to release PS5 ?
Hi,
We’re hoping to have the next release out by April – it’s taking a little longer than expected, due to the new granular permissions we’re implementing, but we think it’s going to be worth the wait
Regards
Mark
