Password Control
Multi-Domain Support
Support for multiple domains has been improved in version 2 of Password Control.
By default, the current domain is selected & a list of trusted domains are added
to the menu and are available for selection. In a single domain environment, you
can simply forget about this feature - Password Control will load up and be ready
to set passwords for users in your domain.
To change the domain, click the File Menu, select Domain - A list of domains appear
in the sub menu. Select the required domain. If the domain does not appear in the
list, click the "Other" button and type the DNS name of the domain. You can also
enter the IP Address of a specific domain controller. The domain entered will now
be selected & will appear in the menu. The domain would need to be added again
the next time you load password control.
You can also add a list of domains to appear in the menu that will be persisted
the next time you load password control. Choose File, Settings, Domain List.
Enter the DNS name (Or IP Address of a domain controller) in the text box and click
add to build your list of domains. Remove domains by clicking the "Remove" button.
The "Dynamic" checkbox under the Remove button indicates that Password Control should
add a list of Trusted domains to the menu. You can use this in combination with
the domains entered manually.
You can also specify the default domain manually, or have it selected dynamically
by Password Control. The second Dynamic checkbox tells password control to select
the default domain automatically. To disable this feature, uncheck the "Dynamic"
checkbox and specify the default domain manually using the combobox to the left.
NOTE: If Password Control appears to load slowly, you might get a performance boost
by un checking both of the Dynamic checkboxes and specifying the domain list and
default domain manually.
The Connect As feature might also be useful in a multi-domain
environment.
