Vault thin client local windows authentication

dhiltd — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 14:08:08 GMT

Would be very beneficial if a windows user would be able to log into the vault thin client without needing to type in their username and password on every visit.

The function exists with the vault pro and office clients, i understand the thin client is web based but if there was a small add-in that bridge the windows account much like Microsoft 365 can do.

Thanks

Ben

@dhiltd

I moved your post from our Ideas board to the discussion forum.

Thin Client users do not have to type in their Windows credentials to log into the Thin Client.

This is controlled by the browser.

Can you tell me what browser your Thin Client users are using?

In the Internet Options -> Security Settings, how is this option set?

Apologies should had mentioned we are using vault 2023, with 2021 we didn’t have this issue as there was a tick boxed “stay signed in” so the user was only prompted once at login and not repeatedly every time they accessed it.

So are the users being kicked out after a long time of no activity?

We are using TC , Vault 2022. When our IT department enforced the use of PIN code for windows logon instead of user and password from AD we cannot access TC without logging out of windows and use alternative login method. Its a bit annoying.
