How do I distribute a customized configuration file to the users?

If you want to deliver Password Depot to the users in your team, you have the possibility to adjust the default values for the program options. To do this, start Password Depot (Client) and set the options as you want them to be passed on to the users. Then, quit the program and open the Windows Explorer.

Go to the directory

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\AceBIT\Password Depot 14

Here, you will find the file pwdepot.cfg, which contains the program options that you have just set in the program. You can open and edit this file with a text editor. This is an XML file and the identifiers should usually be self-explanatory. You can now optionally delete entries that you do not want to pass on.

To pass on the customized cfg file to the users, it must be located in the client's program directory together with the PasswordDepot.exe. This is by default:

C:\Program Files\AceBIT\Password Depot 14

At the first program start, Password Depot adopts the options from this cfg file instead of the factory-set options.

Example of an individual configuration file in which you want to specify a server for your users:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
  <TfrmServerLogin>
    <Server>127.0.0.1</Server>
    <PortNumber>25016</PortNumber>
    <Login>Heinz Mustermann</Login>
  </TfrmServerLogin>
</Configuration>
