Altium Vault 3.0, in conjunction with Altium Designer 17.0, provides the ability to sign in to your Altium Vault using your active Windows session credentials. No longer do you have to specify the domain as part of logging in, you simply enable an option, and the system logs you in based on the credentials already supplied to access your computer - true Windows authentication.
Pre-requisites
For a user to be able to sign in to an Altium Vault using their Windows session credentials, that user must be set-up to use Windows authentication. When adding a new user for the vault, or editing the properties for an existing user - through the USERS page of the vault's browser-based interface - simply set the Authentication field to Windows, and enter the applicable Domain information for your organization.
Ensuring that a vault user is setup to use Windows Authentication.
Once a user is setup to be able to sign-in to the vault using their Windows credentials, this can be done from within Altium Designer, or from the vault's browser-based interface, as detailed in the following sections.
