We are just rolling out Civil 3D 2007 and Vault to our users. I am starting to create users and groups in Vault and I'm not sure how passwords work. I would like each user to create their own password but it looks like they cannot do that if they don't have administrator rights. Which I don't want everyone to have. Anyone know how to let users create their own password or do I have to create it for them?

The absolute best workflow:
Set up Vault usernames and passwords that mimic the Windows domain
logins and passwords. Users log in once, set it to log in
automatically, the question never comes up again.

I'm sure that JPostlewait could weigh in on this topic as well. Unless you have some high level security issues with data on your vault server, we have found that either a simple password that is the same or similar as the user name works well. You will see why, the first time someone checks a file out and goes home or doesn't come to work. Your design team could be brought to their knees if they can't close the file from the absent users machine. Our network access is different and secure but vault has been keep as simple as possible.
Wow...I hadn't thought about that part yet. That could be a real problem. If it's checked out in their name and password and they leave it checked out and go on vacation.......
Funny, you think, well since there is the option for passwords, then you need to use them. But not necessarily. I'll have to look again at a simple password or no password option.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I think the Vault Admin can log-in and change a users password.
But the point is until everybody gets up and running and used to using Vault some situations are going to occur that will require some intervention.
I just don't like the concept of an end user being able to lock a corporate file.
This can be avoided by having an administrator change the password as John
said. You may also want to consider shared working folders - suppose the
person who didn't check the file back in has a laptop? Good luck!
