Authorization and protection mechanisms

Security and protection on the Web Application​

As with the client, the records can be protected on the Web Application with different mechanisms. The authorizations on records can also be managed in the Web Application. During the development of the Web Application, there was always taken care that the operation is identical to the operation of the client. Since the Web Application is based on HTML, it is unfortunately not possible to render the client 100% identical. Therefore, the operation may differ in details. These deviations should be clarified in this chapter.

Protections​

Password masking

The password masking follows the familiar logic of the client. Due to this function, reference should be made to the chapter of Password masking.

There are marginal differences in the operation. The privacy protection is fixed or edited via a button in the extended menu..

The corresponding button is only displayed if the logged in user has the sufficient rights.

If a record is provided with a privacy protection, this is shown in the header of the password.

Seal

The seals also correspond in function to the known logic of the client. In the chapter seal further explanations can be found. The Seals are configured in the extended menu via a button.

The button is only displayed for the users who have the rights to edit seals. If a record is sealed, this will be shown in the password field.

Web Application

What is the Web Application​

The previous WebAccess function has been replaced by the Web Application” in Netwrix Password Secure version 8.3.0. The completely newly developed *Web Application will act as the basis for the constant enhancement of the functional scope. The desired objective is to also provide the full functional scope of the client in the Web Application. The Web Application will thus be constantly enhanced. All of the currently available functions can be viewed in the Functional scope section.

WebClient

Netwrix Password Secure Web Application enables platform-independent access to the database via a browser. It is irrelevant whether you are using Microsoft Windows, macOS or Linux, it is only necessary for javascript to be supported. As the Netwrix Password Secure Web Application has a responsive design, it can also be used on all mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

The Web Application is based both optically and also in its operation on the Netwrix Password Secure client. As usual, users can only access the data for which they also have permissions. The installation is described in the section Installation Web Application
