Hardware Requirements
- Preferably 2 x CPU (virtualized)
- 4 GB RAM (the more RAM the better with higher concurrent user access)
- 1 GB of disk space for web install
- 100 MB of disk space for database (smaller initially), plus room for SQL backups
- Allow for 10 MB of disk space per user per year
- Passwordstate will operate in a virtualised environment (Hyper-V or VMWare)
Example Storage Requirements
- 280,000 Passwords records uses 300 MB
- 19,000 Password Lists records + 1,000 Folders uses 20 MB
- 3,500,000 Auditing Events uses 3.5 GB
- 1,000,000 Password History records uses 1 GB
The hardware requirements above are when hosting the SQL Server and Web Server on the same Host. You may be able to decrease the CPU and Memory on the web server if you split the roles, but we would recommend monitoring memory and CPU performance as concurrent usage increases.
Browser Requirements
- Edge 79 or above
- Firefox 63 or above
- Google Chrome 66 or above
Mobile Client Requirements
Password Reset, Discovery and Validation Requirements
Password resets, account discovery and password validation all rely on PowerShell for execution, both on the Passwordstate Web Server, and each of the servers/workstations you wish to perform resets, etc, on.
