Agent folder settings | |
Folder Path - Sync Agent 4.1.0 or higher to use these settings |
Folder where synced passwords will be created. Available after an Agent 4.1.0 and above has synced. Configure to automatically store any new synchronized passwords in the selected folder rather than in the root of the client. This ensures that any sensitive passwords appear in this folder first before moving them elsewhere. For additional security and restrict access, apply multiple security groups to the selected folder. Use in conjunction with the Org Unit Filter to select which Organization Units synchronize to the folder. |
Org Units Filter - Sync Agent 4.1.0 or higher to use these settings |
Select the Organization Units you want to sync with ". Available after an Agent 4.1.0 and above has synced. Choose the Active Directory Organization Units to synchronize with Passportal. After selection, Passportal only synchronizes with those units included in the filter. Org Units Filtering does not apply to default Organizational Unit structures which always synchronize. |
