Credentials from KeePass

I see that Royal TS can use passwords from KeePass, and there's a very brief mention in the help documents. Are there any samples/screenshots I can refer to? I tried a couple of things but didn't get far. I'm looking for basic steps.

Hi,


there are basically two ways on how to work with KeePass files:

1. Import a file (and continue to work with your credentials in Royal TS): this is a one time migration of your keepass file(s) and after you imported the credentials you only use Royal TS as your credential manager:

https://content.royalapplications.com/Help/RoyalTS/V4/index.html?import_keepass.htm

2. Open the keepass file, continue to use keepass as credential manager but use the credentials in Royal TS: In this scenario you simply hit the File -> Open command on the Home ribbon tab (or on the File backstage view you select Open external credential vault). Once the open file dialog is shown, make sure you select the KeePass file type, browse to your keepass file and click on open. In this scenario, Royal TS will show the keepass file content in the navigation tree and you can assign credentials from that document in your connections.


Let me know if this helps.

Stefan

 Stefan is there any plan to use KeePassXC as well as KeePass for option2?

Hi Michael,


I'm curious. Is the file format of KeePassXC different from the standard KeePass?

No the Format is the same they are backwards compatible. Its more friendly for Cross platform systems (Windows Mac Linux) which also includes their own Addon for Web Browsers to fill in passwords.

keepassxc.org

 Stefan I don't believe so its more of an Opensource crossplatform keepass that also has a good add-on for webbrowsers.

keepassxc.org

I haven't tested it but according to the FAQ here:

https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-format


The file format should be the same, so the current implementation should also work when you are using KeePassXC to manage your .kdbx file.


What we can't do, is to use the KeePassXC binaries for accessing the file since this is written in C++. So when you are using KeePassXC to manage your files, you still need KeePass on your system to let Royal TS open those files for you.
