Master password for data source

Published 14 years ago

How would I secure the access to the data source with an additional password for the Enterprise Edition (using a SQL Server database)?

I'd like to use Windows domain accounts for the database access, but I also would like my users to have to enter a password (preferably user specific) before they can access the data for extra security. I know I can set a master password on the application, but users would be able to disable this at their own convenience and that kind of defeats the purpose again.

If you don't use the integrated security, you can configure their data source to always ask for password. After that you can lock their data source so they can't modify it.

Yes thanks, I've noticed that. But there's no option to use integrated security and an additional password is there?

Hi,
No there is no settings for that. You could setup a passphrase (File->Administration->Security Provider) but everybody will have the same passphrase. After that you could set a reg key to ensure that the passphrase is never saved.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\RemoteDesktopManager]
"AlwaysPromptForPassphrase"="1"

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RemoteDesktopManager]
"AlwaysPromptForPassphrase"="1"

Just FYI,

I made the experience that also for 64-bit RDM it's [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTARE\RemoteDesktopManager]
