PS5 Update – Forms Based Authentication

Hi Everyone,

We’ve now finished coding forms based authentication for Passwordstate, for customers who do not wish to rely on Active Directory for authentication. Essentially each user will need to specify a username and password to authenticate for Passwordstate.

With forms based authentication, Passwordstate is still fully functional except for the following features:

• Only local security groups can be used to logically organize user accounts – no synchronization with Active Directory security groups is possible
• ScramblePad Authentication is not available – not really needed as the user has to manually authenticate anyway
• Adding Active Directory user accounts – obviously
