Passwordstate App Server Installation ​

Installation instructions for the App Server, to be used with either the Native App, Self Destruct or Browser Extensions features.

App Server Overview ​

This document will detail instructions for installing the Passwordstate App Server, and configuring System wide settings related to this feature. This feature will allow you to use the native Android and iOS Mobile App, but can also be used as a portal for the Self Destruct Messages feature.

Typically, you would install this App Server in your DMZ, so you can allow access to it from outside your network. The App Server communicates securely back to your core Passwordstate website, on the port you use to access your Passwordstate site.

Alternatively, you can install the App Server on your Passwordstate webserver, and you may want to do this if you have limited servers in your environment.

For more information on how to use the Mobile App once this App Server has been installed, please refer to the Mobile App User Manual found under the Help Menu in Passwordstate.

For more information about using the App Server with the Self Destruct Portal, please see Administration - > System Settings -> Self Destruct Messages.

Prerequisites ​

In order for the App Server to function correctly, you will need the following requirements:

  • An existing installation of Passwordstate 9 or above
  • A Windows server running either Windows 11, or Windows Server 2016 or above (This can be your Passwordstate web server, or another server of your choice)
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2
  • A trusted SSL certificate (More information on this in Section 4 of this guide)
  • From where your App Server is installed, you must have an open port for it to connect back to your SQL Server – this port is 1433 by default. If you are using a SQL Listener for database connectivity, you will need to allow port 1434 UDP – unless you have modified the default port
