How can I create the DefSettings.ini configuration file?

The DefSettings.ini file is required if the administrator of Password Depot Enterprise Server would like to pre-define default values concerning the client's program options.

You can create the configuration file DefSettings.ini by inserting the entries listed below into a new, empty text file, assigning the desired values, and then saving it as a plain text file under the name DefSettings.ini. It is sufficient to only include the options in your ini file that you actually need. It is important that the string [Options] precedes the options listed below (as shown below):
