Synchronizing Passwords

 

NOTE

Password synchronization is implemented only in specific installations of SafeNet Authentication Client, where it is required.

SafeNet Authentication Client supports synchronization between Token Passwords and domain logon passwords.

The synchronization process provides a single password that can be used for logging on to both the token and the Windows domain. The process ensures that the password complexity requirements as set for the token and SafeNet Authentication Client are met.

NOTE

The new password must meet the complexity requirements for the token and the domain. You must have access to the domain when changing the password.

To synchronize passwords:

1         Right-click the SafeNet Authentication Client tray icon.

The SafeNet Authentication Client tray menu opens.

2         Select Synchronize Password.

The Synchronize Passwords window opens.

3         Enter the current Token Password and the current domain password.

4         Enter the new Token Password, and confirm it.

5         Click OK.

You now have a single password for logging on to your token and Windows domain.

Every time you change your Token Password using SafeNet Authentication Client, the domain logon password will be synchronized with it.
