<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A user can carry out a large number of Enterprise Vault-related actions. Only the most important are listed in this page.  
The full list can be found here: [https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-usage](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-usage)</span>

### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Account creation</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The user journey begins when their account is created on Trustelem. </span>

- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If they are synchronized from a directory, the administrators will communicate about the account creation</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then users can access to the Entreprise Vault application using the url: https://vault-**<span style="color: rgb(53, 152, 219);">your\_domain</span>**.trustelem.com</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">First they need to authenticate using Trustelem credentials (Trustelem password or directory password).  
</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then they can define or provide their master-password, depending on whether it already exists or not. This password will be used for the data encryption.</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">More information about the account creation and the account management are presented here: [https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-usage/chapter/account-management](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-usage/chapter/account-management)</span>

# Quickstart guide for administrators

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When the subscription is created, administrators must perform the initial configuration.  
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Users and accesses are defined via Trustelem, while the Entreprise Vault is managed via a dedicated application.</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After that, the work mainly concerns the user lifecycle management: creating or deleting users, unblocking those who need help and finally checking product status and logs.</span>

### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Trustelem management</span>

##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Initial setup</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first step when a customer acquires Enterprise Vault is to configure Trustelem. The goal is to define which users will have access to Entreprise Vault and how. These actions are performed by Trustelem administrators.</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are therefore 4 main steps in the setup.</span>

- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Add users, created locally or synchronized from directories</span>
    - <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">[Active Directory users](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/active-directory-users-trustelem-adconnect) </span>
    - [<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Azure Active Directory users </span>](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/azure-ad-users)
    - <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">[Local Trustelem users](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/trustelem-local-users)  
        </span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Add Enterprise Vault apps (user + admin)</span>
- [Define access rules](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/access-rules)
- [<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Optionally, define the </span>](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/multi-factors-authentication)[usable](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration/page/multi-factors-authentication) 2nd factors, as well as the enrollment methods

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">**Note**: Trustelem administration page should always be secured using multi-factor authentication. To do so you need to enroll a 2<sup>nd</sup> factor for the admin accounts, then enable multi-factor using the option "Authentication level for Trustelem admin console" on Security settings &gt; General.</span>

##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Subscription management</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When the initial setup is done, Trustelem administration page is still usefull for:</span>

- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Managing changes in the setup (new users, new 2nd factors, new enrolment process...)</span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Managing user password lost</span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Managing advanced features (silent authentication, self-service password reset, siem integration, API automations...)  
    *More information about Trustelem are available here: [https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration](https://trustelem-doc.wallix.com/books/trustelem-administration)*</span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Auditing the authentication</span>

### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Entreprise Vault setup</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In this quickstart guide, a limited action number is presented. To see all the administrators tasks, you can use this link:</span>

[<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-administration</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/enterprise-vault-administration)

##### Entreprise Vault administration access

To access Entreprise Vault administration page, a Trustelem user must have access to the Entreprise Vault administration application.  
By default, the subscription administrator is in the group "Entreprise Vault Admin" which has the access to this app.  
To add new Entreprise Vault administrators, the users must be affected to this group.

##### Entreprise Vault administration page

As mentioned in the previous point, the Entreprise Vault administration is done through an application. So, to access this app the administrators must use their Trustelem dashboard: https://<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">**<span style="color: rgb(53, 152, 219);">your\_domain</span>**</span>.trustelem.com.

##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">M</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">anage users</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As a reminder, users creation is done through Trustelem admin page and not with Entreprise Vault admin app.</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the Entreprise Vault admin app you can manage:</span>

- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Entreprise Vault users deletion from the Entreprise Vault data base.  
    *It will not remove users fromTrustelem*  
    *It will delete all the associated items*</span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The obligation for users to change their master password at the next connection</span>
- <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The change of user encryption keys</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">More information are available here: [https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-administration/page/administration-application](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/administration-application)</span>

##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Manage organization policies</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the Entreprise Vault admin app you can manage the settings applying to the entire company.  
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You can define rules for the logs, the security, the recovery process...</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">More information are available here: [https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-administration/page/administration-application](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/administration-application)</span>

##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">udit the vault</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the Entreprise Vault admin app you can audit user's items, and share vault's items.</span>

In the **New master password** field, choose and enter a new master password.

In the **Confirm new master password** field, re-enter the new master password chosen.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In the [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Master password hint</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/48) field, enter the Master Password Hint that you created when you [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">created your Account</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/4).</span>

# Encryption Key Settings

It is possible to change the Encryption Key Settings for your Account.

Click on the **User Icon,** on the top right-hand side of the screen, to display the **User Menu**.

[![profile menu - Copie (2).png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/profile-menu-copie-2.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/profile-menu-copie-2.png)

The following options can be changed:

- **KDF algorithm**: There are 2 choices - **Argon2id** or **PBKDF2 SHA-256**.

To be more secure and efficient, use Argon2id rather than PBKDF2.

[![Capture d’écran 2023-12-13 124713.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/capture-decran-2023-12-13-124713.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/capture-decran-2023-12-13-124713.png)

- **KDF Iterations**: Choose the number of iterations possible. The **default** is **3**.
- **KDF memory (MB)**: Choose the memory required . The **default** is **64**.
- **KDF parallelism**: Choose the parallism possible. The **default** is **4**

<p class="callout warning">Higher KDF iterations, memory, and parallelism can help protect your master password from being brute forced by an attacker. However, setting your KDF iterations, memory, and parallelism too high could result in poor performance when logging into (and unlocking) WALLIX Vault on slower or older devices. Changing these parameters individually, in small increments, and then testing all your devices is the best way to ensure performance.</p>

<p class="callout warning">Proceeding will log you out of all active sessions. You will need to log back in and complete two-step login setup. Export your vault before modifying your encryption settings to avoid any loss of data.</p>

Click **Change KDF** to change the Encryption Key Settings for your Account.

# Lock Vs Logout

**Lock** and **Logout** do **not** perform the **same** function. It is important to understand the differences between them.

**WALLIX Vault** only **stores** **Encrypted Data** on its **servers**.

### Login

The **Master Password** is needed to Login and gain **access** to the **Account Encryption Key**.

An **Internet** Connection (or **Server connection**) is **needed**.

**Encrypted Vault Data** is **downloaded**.

It is **decrypted** using the **Account Encryption Key**.

### Unlock 

The Account is **already logged in**.

The **Encrypted Vault Data** has **already** been **downloaded**.

The **Master Password** is **not needed** to **unlock** (but can be used).

Therefore, **Unlock using PIN** or **Biometrics** is possible.

An **Internet** Connection (or **Server connection**) is **not needed**.

### Lock and Unlock using Biometrics or PIN

After activation of Unlock **using a PIN** or a **Biometric Factor**, a **New PIN** or a **Biometric Encryption Key** is **created**.

This is **derived** from the **PIN** or **Biometric Factor** used to encrypt the **Account Encryption Key**, which is **stored locally** when the User is logged in.

<p class="callout info">**Unlock using Master Password on Browser Restart**, the Account Encryption Key is stored in **memory**.</p>

When you **Unlock** the Vault, the PIN or Biometric Encryption Key is used to **decrypt** the **Account Encryption Key** stored locally, which is then used to **decrypt** the **Vault Data** stored locally.

When you **Lock** the Vault, the **decrypted Account Encryption Key** and **Vault Data** are **deleted**.

# TOTP Authentication

A **TOTP** (Time-based one-time password) is a password that is generated by a TOTP Generator, to be used one time only as part of a 2 step login.

Many Accounts propose (or require) 2-factor authentication :

- The first step is Account's username and password.
- The second step is a TOTP that is generated by a TOTP Generator from the Account's Authentication Key.

WALLIX can be used to **store** the **Authentication Key** for a **Login** and **use it** to **generate a TOTP** using **SHA-1** that is **valid** for **30 seconds**.

This is possible in the **WALLIX Web Vault,** the **WALLX Web Extension** and the **WALLIX Authenticator Mobile App**.

### WALLIX Web Vault

From the **Item Screen** of a **Login Item**, **add** the **Authentication key** for that Login.

A **TOTP** is automatically **generated** for the **Login** and can be copied using the ![copy totp.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/copy-totp.png) **Copy button.**

Use the **« / » forward slash** delimiter to define the folder structure of your nested folder.

For example, create a new folder called **Redstone Project/New.**

[![create nested folder screen.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/create-nested-folder-screen.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/create-nested-folder-screen.png)

If the folder called **Redstone Project** already exists, a nested folder called **New** is created inside the **Redstone Project** folder.

[![nested folder screen.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen.png)

If a folder called **Redstone Project** does not already exist, a new folder will be created called **Redstone Project/New.**

[![nested folder screen-no parent.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen-no-parent.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen-no-parent.png)

To create a nested folder called **Trees** inside the **New** Folder, create a new folder called **Redstone Project/New/Trees.**

[![create nested folder screen 2 levels.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/sHbcreate-nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/sHbcreate-nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)

A nested folder called **Trees** is created inside the **New** folder.

[![nested folder screen 2 levels.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)

<p class="callout info">If you **[Search](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/21)** inside the **Redstone Project** Folder, it will return items in the Redstone Project Folder but **not items inside** the **New** and **Trees nested** folders.</p>

<p class="callout info">There is **no limit** to the **depth** of nested folders, but it can be impractical to create too many.</p>

# Move Item to Folder

From the **[Edit Item Screen](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/9)** Screen, **choose** a **Folder** from the dropdown menu.

[![Move Item to a folder.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/move-item-to-a-folder.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/move-item-to-a-folder.png)

Click **Save** button to **Move the Item** to this Folder.

You can **add an Item** from a **Shared Vault** into a **Folder**. This will be **organized** in this Folder in **your Vault**. It will **not provide access** to this item **to another user.**

# Manage Data Recovery

This is only available for users who have recovery options. These options have to be granted by a Trustelem Administrator.

# Admin quick start

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prerequisites</span>:

- in the Vault administration application: 
    - recovery data policy activation
    - [set the *recovery\_data* attribute](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions) to the users who want to recover user data
- [share the cipher key](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions)
- set up the [approbators group(s)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/approbators-group-management)

As a authenticated user, the standard workflow to access to user data is:

1. Create a data recovery request (described [here](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/create-data-recovery-request))
2. Notification is sent to the approbators, waiting for their vote
3. If the request is approved, an email is sent to the user who emit the request
4. The user has to re-log in and can now access to the user data (see an example below)

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/HLFimage.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/HLFimage.png)

# Approbators group management

All the data recovery requests enforce a validation process that consists to be approved by all approbators group. In each group, a quorum is defined so, when the quorum is reached, the request is considered validated by the group.

Users authorized to manage approbator groups must have an additional attribute *recovery\_data\_workflow* to acces the administration page. For more information about how the authorizations are granted, see the [grant data recovery permissions page](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions).

A validation group is composed by one or several Trustelem Vault users.

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/image.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/image.png)

You can edit each group by clicking on the desired property (name, quorum or users list), add a brand-new approbators group. or remove a whole group. Here is what you get when you want to modify the approbators of a specific group:

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/0ibimage.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/0ibimage.png)

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span>: only a valid Vault user is allowed to be added to a group.

When a data recovery request is submitted, an email is sent to each approbators.

# Create Data Recovery Request

This section is only authorized to Vault users with specific rights (i.e. the *recovery\_data* attribute and the cipher key shared). For more information about how the authorizations are granted, see the [grant data recovery permissions page](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions).

To perform a data recovery request, go to the "*Create a data recovery request*" section to perform the request:

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/DfZimage.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/DfZimage.png)

The user can emit a new data recovery request for a specific Vault user included in the droplist component. The user can cancel the request for any reason if needed until the request is approved or refused.

An history of the already emitted requests is available at the bottom of the page.

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/OCsimage.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/OCsimage.png)

Here you will find all the request statuses available:

- *Waiting for administrator validation*: the request has been emitted and no approbator already votes;
- *Approved*: so, rather self-explanatory;
- *Cancelled*: the user who creates the request has manually cancelled the request (cf "Cancel" button);
- *Request expired*: the request reaches the configured timeout. The timeout policy is defined in the vault administration application;
- *Data recovery session ended*: an approbation has manually revoked the data recovery session (see the [manage requests page](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/manage-data-recovery-requests)).

# Manage Data Recovery Requests

This section is only authorized to approbators (i.e. the user must be included in at least approbation group). On the "In progress" tab, you can monitor the current open and non-resolved data recovery requests.

[![image.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/tU1image.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/tU1image.png)

Until the approbator votes, all the vote options are displayed. After voting, either the "Approve" or the "Dismiss" button is hidden, depending how the approbator votes. Non-resolved status means that at least one approbator has submitted his vote but all the emitted votes are not sufficient to reach each of the group quorum.

The "Close" button will end the approved data recovery session if any approbator wants to.

On the "Ended" tab, you have the complete data recovery requests history, regardless of who requested it and regardless of which account was target by the recovery process.

# Administration application

The vault administration application allow administrators to have a global view of the Vault uses in your enterprise. Some settings are available to fit your requirements.

To add an access to this application, the Trustelem administrator have to add access permission to this application to desired users.

The application has four sections :

- Indicators dashboard
- Users list
- Shared vault list
- Parameters

#### Indicators dashboard 

The dashboard indicators allow you to have an overview of the use of WALLIX Enterprise Vault in your company.  
Each user who creates their account has a personal vault.

You also have an overview of the number of created Shared vault.

For each of them, you can see the number of items and the number of attachments.

You can see which client are used by your users.

#### Users list

Only users who have created their vault account are list in this screen. To create his vault account, a user have to connect to the vault and create his master password.

If a Trustelem administrator delete users or remove authorizations to access the Vault application, corresponding users are highlighted.

Administrators can force users to reset their master password or change their encryption key at the next connection. If the administrator delete the vault account by clicking the trash, user data cannot be recovered.

In this list you can check the status of the users. In the lifecycle of Trustelem users, users with a Vault account can be unauthorized to access to the vault application or can be deactivated.

#### Shared vault list

The Shared vault list give you an overview of the Shared vault usage. You have a list of shared and for each the list of administrator and regular users.

When in the lifecycle of your users you have shared vault without active administrators or without any active user, a warning is displayed.

Only members with **owner** or **admin roles** can **see** Unassigned Items, and can decide how to treat them.

# Send Overview

  
Using Send is a way to **share sensitive Vault data with someone who does not have Vault Access** using **[End-to-End Encryption](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/99).**

The [**Send Encryption Process**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/99) describes how a **Send Link is constructed**, the **Encryption and Decryption process** and **Send Security Options**.

A **[Send can be Created](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/7)** to send either **Plain Text or a File** to another person. A Send can also be [**modified** ](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/88)or **[deleted manually](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/89)** after creation.

A **[Link can be Copied to the Clipboard](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/86#bkmrk-copy-send-link-to-cl)** and provided to the person to**[ Access the Send](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/82)**. The link can be

Sends are by definition ephemeral and have **[Limited Lifespan.](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/87)**

- They are **Automatically Deleted** after a certain time.
- An **Expiration Date** and **Maximum Access Count** can also be set for Sends.

A number of [**Privacy Options**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/85) are available for a Send.

- A Send can also be **Password Protected**. In this case the Recipient is required to enter the Password to access the Send.
- The text in **Text** Sends can be **hidden** by default to prevent unintended access to a Send.
- The **Email Address** of the sender can be **hidden**. In this case it is advisable that the Sender **inform** the **Recipient** that a Send link will be sent, and that the recipient contacts the Sender to **verify** the **link** before accessing it.

# Send Encryption Process

All Sends are **automatically end-to-end encrypted**, which means that WALLIX Enterprise Vault **encrypts** the data in the Send Link and the client-browser uses the encryption key to **decrypt** the data once received.

### Send Link Anatomy

The Send Link is comprised of 3 elements:**

https://&lt;WALLIX Vault URL&gt;/#/send/&lt;send\_id&gt;/&lt;encryption\_key&gt;

1. **Secure HTTP Protocol:** https//:
2. **Vault URL:** &lt;WALLIX Vault URL&gt;
3. **URL Fragment:** /#/send/&lt;send\_id&gt;/&lt;encryption\_key&gt; which contains the &lt;send\_id&gt; and the &lt;encryption\_key&gt;

### Send Encryption

Here is how it works:

- When a Send is created a **128-bit secret key** is **generated** for that Send.
- A **512-bit encryption key** is **derived** from the 128-bit secret key.
- The Send is **AES-256 encrypted** using the derived 512-bit encryption. **Data** (plain text or file) and the **Metadata** (Name, Filenme, Notes, etc.) are **included** in the encryption.
- The Encrypted Send is **uploaded** to **WALLIX Servers**. The **Send ID** (used to identify the Send for decryption) is **included** in upload. The **Encryption Key** is **not included** in the upload.

### Send Decryption

Here is how it works:

- When a Send Link is accessed, the Web Browser requests the **Send Access Page** from WALLIX Servers.
- The Send Access Page is **returned** from WALLIX Servers as a **Web Vault Client**.
- The **URL Fragment** (containing **Send ID** and **Encryption Key**) is **parsed locally** by the Web Vault Client.
- Using the parsed **Send ID**, the **Data** is **requested** from WALLIX Servers by the Web Vault Client.
- The **Encryption Key** is **never** included in **Network Requests**.
- The **Encrypted Send** is **returned** from WALLIX Servers to the Web Vault Client.
- Using the **Encryption Key**, the Encrypted Send is **Decrypted locally** by the Web Vault Client.

### Send Security

In order to **improve Send Security**, **two additional steps** can also be taken when transmitting a Send. These steps are **optional**.

#### 1. Use Password Authentication

- When creating a Send, **set** a **Password**.
- Provide the **Password** to the Recipient via a **separate channel**.
- When the Recipient clicks the Send Link, they are obliged to successfully enter this password before accessing the Send.
- The Encrypted Send is then accessed and decrypted.

<p class="callout info">The Password is not included in Send Encryption or Decryption. It is only used for Authentication before the Encrypted Send can be accessed and decrypted.</p>

#### 2. Provide Encryption Key Separately

- Provide the Send Link **without** the Encryption key.
- Provide the **Encryption Key** via a **separate channel**.
- The URL should be **reassembled** to **include** the **Encryption Key**, as per the [**Send Link Anatomy**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/99#bkmrk-send-anatomy).

<p class="callout warning">The fully **Reassembled Send Link** is **Required** to **Access** the **Send**.</p>

<p class="callout info">If **multiple logins** are found for the URI, the **last-used login** is used for auto-fill.</p>

<p class="callout info">Keyboard shortcuts can be useful to **populating multiple logins** in **rapid succession**.</p>

<p class="callout info">**[Configure shortcuts](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/95):** If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, it may be because **another app** is already **using it**. Either remove the shortcut from the other app or configure WALLIX to use a different shortcut.</p>

### TOTP Copy

If the Login uses **WALLIX Authenticator** for TOTPs, the shortcut also **copies** the **TOTP** to the clipboard after auto-filling the web page with any of the above methods.

### Auto-fill for iframes

**Auto-fill** does **not work** for untrusted iframes.

An untrusted iframe is **defined** as one where the **src** value is **not** the **same** as the **URI** for the **Login** item, as required in the rules set for **Match Detection Behavior**.

When the browser extension detects an iframe it responds based on the type of auto-fill being used:

- **Auto-fill on Page Load:** the browser extension disables the auto-fill on page load and does not warn the user
- **Auto-fill using Context menu, Keyboard Shortcut or from Browser Extension:** the browser extension warns the user about the iframe.

# Auto-fill for Cards and Identities

### Add to Vault

As for **[Manually Adding Logins to the Vault](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/94#bkmrk-manually-add-a-login)**, **Cards** and **Identities** can be **auto-filled directly to the Vault** from the browser extension.

This works the same as for **[Logins](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/92#bkmrk-auto-fill-from-conte)**.

### Hide Cards and Identities Option

Cards and Identities are displayed by default in the Tab Screen of the Browser Extension.

**Uncheck** the following options in **Settings &gt; Options &gt; Display** in the Browser Extension to **hide** these from **view**:

# Auto-fill for Custom Fields

The **Browser Extension** can be used to **auto-fill a web page** with custom fields that have been added to Items. A typical application of this is for **PINs** and **Security Questions** that are often required in addition to a **Username** and **Password** to login to a website.

Auto-field Custom fields can be created for the **&lt;form&gt;** or **&lt;input&gt;** **elements**. A special scenario is possible for **&lt;span&gt;** elements**.**

### Auto-Fill Custom Fields

Open the **Browser Extension** on the **Webpage** that you wish to auto-fill.

The **Tab** Screen displays.

It **automatically detects** the **URI** of the webpage and **displays** any **logins stored** in the **Vault** that correspond with this URI.

Select the **Vault Item** that contains the **custom field** to be auto-filled to the webpage.

[![copy custom field name - Copie.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/copy-custom-field-name-copie.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/copy-custom-field-name-copie.png)

The Browser Extension finds any fields that **match** the **Custom field Name** and **auto-fill** that field's **value**.

<p class="callout warning">For this reason it is **important** to **correctly name custom fields**.</p>

### Linked Custom Fields

Sometimes the Browser Extension is **unable to auto-fill usernames and passwords** for a webpage. In these cases, **Custom fields** can be created for the username and password and these can be used **instead** for auto-fill.

From the [**Edit Item Screen**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/9), add a New **[Custom Field](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/15)** of type **Linked.**

[![new linked custom field.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/new-linked-custom-field.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/new-linked-custom-field.png)

In the **Name** field, give it the same name as the **HTML form element** (id, name, aria-label, or placeholder) for the field in question.

This can be found by clicking the **Copy custom field name link** in the Context Menu of the field in question.

For **example**, to find the HTML form element for the Master Password in WALLIX Enterprise Vault, click the Copy custom field name link.

The HTML form element for the Master Password is **saved** to the **clipboard**.

**Paste** the HTML Form element into the **name** field of the **custom field** that you are creating for Master Password.

[![custom fields.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/1QEcustom-fields.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/1QEcustom-fields.png)

From the **Value** dropdown, select **Password** in the case of a **Custom field for password** (as in the example above) or **Username** in the case of a **Custom field for username**.

This procedure is valid for Auto-field Custom fields can be created for the **&lt;form&gt;** and **&lt;input&gt;** elements.

### Auto-Fill for Span Tags

A **custom field** can be created for the **id** attribute of &lt;**span&gt;** elements if the **data-bwautofill** attribute is **present** in the opening tag.

In the following **example**, you could create a Custom Field with the **name** of **title**. An **auto-fill** would **replace** the **contents** of **title** (currently "WALLIX Enterprise Vault" with the **contents** of the **custom field**.

&lt;span **data-bwautofill** id=<span class="hljs-string">"**title**"</span>&gt;WALLIX Enterprise Vault&lt;/span&gt;

# Using URIs in Auto-fills

A **Login Item** can have **one or more URIs**. These are added from the [**Create Item**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/8) or **[Edit Item](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/9)** Screen.

[![add URI.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/add-uri.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/add-uri.png)

A **URI** is **defined** as a :

- Website address (URL)
- Server IP address
- Mobile App Package ID
- etc.

<p class="callout info">A **URI** is **mandatory** for a Login Item in order to **auto-fill** it into a web page.</p>

### URI Components

A **URI** is made up for a number of **components**.

https://www.google.com:8080/calendar/item?id=123&amp;type=task

- **Scheme** https://
- **Hostname** www.google.com 
    - **Subdomain** www
    - **SLD (second level domain)** google
    - **TLD (top level domain)** com
- **Port** 8080
- **Path** calendar/item
- **Query** **String** ?id=123&amp;type=task

#### URI Scheme

A URI Scheme **should be specified** as part of the **URI**. If it is not specified **http://** is used by **default**.

However, if a Scheme is **not specified** by the user, the [![launch.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/launch.png) ](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/launch.png)**Launch button,** to launch the website or app directly from the Vault, will **not work**.

[![add URI - Copie.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/add-uri-copie.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/add-uri-copie.png)

**Examples** of schemes are

- https:// or http:// are schemes that reference web pages, e.g. https://www.google.com
- androidapp::// is a scheme that references an Android app pacakge ID or name, e.g. androidapp://com.google.android

### Mobile App URIs

**Every mobile app** has it's **own URI**. In order to save the login of an app into the Vault, it is necessary to **save the URI** of the app.

#### Locate App URI for iOS

From the App Login Screen on your iOS device, **open the Browser Extension.**

Click the **+ button** to create a new Item in the Browser Extension.

The **New Item Screen** displays and it is **prepopulated** with the **URI** of the **App**.

<p class="callout warning">This **only works if** the **App permits** recuperating the URI.</p>

The Item can be **saved** as a **Login Item** for this Mobile App.

Alternatively, the **URI** can be **copied** and **pasted** into another Login Item.

#### Locate App URI for Android

From the **App page** in the **Google Play Store**, locate the **Share** button.

Copy the **Share Button link** to the clipboard.

**Paste** the link to an email or another file where it can be displayed.

The **link** will look something like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twitter.android

The **URI** is the **id value**, in this example, com.twitter.android

### URI Match Detection

**Each URI** associated with an Item in WALLIX Enterprise Vault has a number Match detection options in the that **Match detection dropdown** can be chosen.

The Match detection option chosen tells WALLIX **how to match the URI** of the **Vault Item** with the **URI** of the **web page or mobile app** for **auto-filling**.

[![match detection.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/wxVmatch-detection.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/wxVmatch-detection.png)

#### Defaut match detection

**Base domain** is the **default** option for **URI match detection.**

However, this can be **changed** in **Settings &gt; Auto-fill** for **all Items.**

The Default match detection can be **specified** on a per item basis, in the Item Screen for **each item**. If not specified, the default option is used.

#### Base domain

If **Base domain** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will try to auto-fill all pages or apps where the **top-level domain (TLD) or second-level domain (SLD)** of the Page URI matches a the top-level domain or second-level domain of a Vault Item.

<p class="callout info">This works with **country code top level domains** only. Local TLDs, e.g. **www.google.local** do not work. **Local TLDs** work with **Host matching**.</p>

For example,

https://google.com

Auto-fill works:

- www.google.com
- calendar.google.fr

Auto-fill does not work:

- www.google.net

#### Host

If **Host** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will try to auto-fill all pages or apps where the **hostname** (**and port**, if specified) of the Page URI matches a the hostname (and port, if specified) of a Vault Item.

For example,

https://calendar.google.com:8080

Auto-fill works:

- calendar.google.com:8080
- calendar.google.com:8080/home.html

Auto-fill does not work:

- www.google.com (different subdomain and missing port)
- www.google.com:8080 (different subdomain)
- calendar.google.com:8081 (different port)

#### Starts with

If **Starts with** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will try to auto-fill all pages or apps where the Page URI **starts with** the URI of a Vault Item.

For example,

https://www.google.com/home/

Auto-fill works:

- https://www.google.com/home/index.html
- https://www.google.com/home/

Auto-fill does not work:

- https://www.google.com
- https://www.google.com:8080/home/ (port number added)
- https://www.google.com/home (missing trailing slash)

#### Regular expression

If **Starts with** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will try to auto-fill all pages or apps where the Page URI matches a **specified regular expression** associated with the URI of a Vault Item.

<p class="callout info">Regular expressions are **case insensitive**.</p>

For example,

^https://\[a-z\]+\\.google\\.com/index\\.php

Auto-fill works:

- https://www.google.com/index.php
- https://fr.google.com/index.php

Auto-fill does not work:

- https://www.google.com/index/ (missing .php)
- https://malicious-site.com?q=google.com

For example,

^https://.\*google\\.com$

Auto-fill works:

- https://www.google.com
- https://fr.google.com/index.html
- **https://malicious-site.com?q=google.com**<p class="callout warning">URI matching with Regular Expressions is an **advanced** option and should **only** be used **by those familiar** with using **[Regular Expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#Standards).**</p>
    
    <p class="callout warning">**Periods (.)** must be **escaped (\\)** otherwise they will match on any character.</p>

Auto-fill does not work:

- https://google.com/index/ (missing period (.))

#### Exact

If **Exact** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will try to auto-fill all pages or apps where the Page **URI** is an **exact match** for the URI of a Vault Item.

For example,

https://calendar.google.com/index.html

Auto-fill works:

- https://calendar.google.com/index.html

Auto-fill does not work:

- https://calendar.google.com/index.htm (index.htm instead of index.html)
- http://calendar.google.com/index.html (http instead of https)
- https://www.google.com/index.html (different subdomain)

<p class="callout info">For **HTTPS**, even if Exact matching is not used, the Browser Extension will **warn before** auto-filling a **HTTP** site **if HTTPS** is **expected**.</p>

#### Never

If **Never** is chosen as the Default match detection for a URI, WALLIX will **never** try to **auto-fill** all pages or apps using **that Vault Item.**

### Equivalent Domains

It is possible to link equivalent domains, or domains that use the same login.

For example, calendar.google.com can be linked with www.google.com.

This can be done in **Settings &gt; Domain Rules**.

<p class="callout warning">If **Exact match detection** is used an **equivalent domain** will **not** be **allowed**.</p>

# Auto-fill for iOS

**Auto-fill** is possible on an **iOS device** from your **Browser Extension** on **Chrome** or **Firefox** browsers.

**[Account Switching](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/103)** facilitates multiple logins at one time.

<p class="callout info">[**Auto-fill using Custom Fields**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/100) is **not supported** on **mobile** devices.</p>

<p class="callout info">**Vault Timeout** must be set to **Lock** (and not Log Out) **if NFC** is **required** for **Two-factor Authentication.**</p>

### Auto-fill using Keyboard

This is the **recommended** option.

#### Enable Auto-fill on Keyboard

From your **iOS device**, tap **Settings &gt; Passwords &gt; Password Options.**

The Autofill Passwords and Passkeys option is displayed.

Click **AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys** to **toggle** it **on**.

<p class="callout info">It is **recommended** that **other Auto-fill services** are **disabled**, like Chrome Password Manager or iCloud Passwords &amp; Keychain.</p>

#### Using Auto-fill on Keyboard

**Open** an **app or website** where you are **not logged into**.

**Tap** either the **Username** or **Password** Fields.

A Username or the Passwords button is displayed.

- If a **Username** is displayed, **tap** it. The Login is **auto-filled**.

# Import / Export data

Exchange data with another Vault product.

# Import / Export Data Overview

Data can be imported into or exported from either an **Individual Vault** or a **Shared Vault**.

In this way, data can be exported from one vault and the data reimported into another Vault.

- **[Import Data:](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/78)** Data can be imported into a Vault using a **variety** of **file formats**. Data is **encrypted locally** before being sent to the server for storage.
- [**Data Import Errors**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/80) : If the data does not conform with the WALLIX Enterprise Vault data requirements, a **data import error** **message** is displayed. The data can be **corrected** before being imported.
- [**Export Unencrypted Vault**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/79): A Vault can be exported and downloaded to your computer without first being encrypted. This is possible for Individual and Shared Vaults.
- [**Export Encrypted Vault**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/81): A Vault can be encrypted using one of two methods (**Account restricted** or **Password protected**) before being exported.
- [**Reimport Encrypted Export**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/84): When data is exported using the **Account Restricted m**ethod, it can be **reimported** into the **same** **vault**.

# Import Data

This procedure applies to **Individual Vaults** and **Shared Vaults**.

From the **Tools Menu,** click **Import data link.** The **Import data screen** is displayed.

[![import data filled.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/import-data-filled.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/import-data-filled.png)

From the **Import Destination dropdown**, choose a Vault into which to import the data. This field is **mandatory**.

From the **Folder dropdown**, choose the folder into which to import the data. This field is **optional**.

<p class="callout info">*For **Shared Vaults**, the **Collection dropdown** is displayed **instead** of the Folder dropdown.*</p>

From the **File format dropdown**, choose the file format of the file to import. **Instructions** are displayed relative to the file format chosen. This field is **mandatory**.

From the **Select the import file field**, locate and choose the file to import.

Alternatively, **copy/paste the import file contents** to the large text field provided.

Click **Import data** to start the import. The data is imported.

If the **import file** is **password protected**, you will be prompted to **enter the Password** before the import can start.

A **Confirmation Screen** is displayed, **summarizing** the **data imported**.

Click **Ok** to return to the **Item List Screen**.

[![data imported.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/data-imported.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/data-imported.png)

<p class="callout warning">Attachments, Password History, Sends and Trash **cannot be imported** using this feature. They need to be entered manually.</p>

<p class="callout warning">*The Data Import feature **does not verify** if **items** imported are **already in your vault**. If an Item is imported and already exists in the Vault, a **duplicate** item is created.*</p>

<p class="callout warning">*When the import has finished, it is recommended that you **delete the import file** from your **computer**, for security reasons.*</p>

# Data Import Errors

WALLIX Enterprise Vault **imposes character counts** on different fields types. If an import file contains data that **exceeds** the **encrypted character limit** for the field type, the **file** will **not** be **imported**.

When the **data** is **encrypted** those character counts grow between **30-50%**. Therefore, a field that was within the required character limit before the encryption **may exceed** the **character limit after encryption**.

The following is an example **Import Error message** that could be **displayed** when an **import fails**:

<p class="callout danger">*\[1\]\[Login\] "BestBank": The fields Notes exceeds the maximum encrypted value length of 10000 characters.* </p>

- <span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);">\[1\] </span>denotes the **index number** of the item in question. This would typically be the row number in a CSV file, for example.
- <span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);"> \[Login\] </span>indicates that the **item type** is Login.
- <span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);">"BestBank"</span> denotes the **name** of the **item** in question.
- <span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);">Notes </span>denotes the **name** of the **field** where the character limit is exceeded.
- <span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);">10000</span> denotes the **allowed character limit** for that **field.**

### Custom Field Names

The Naming of Custom Fields, that are linked to Login Fields for auto-fill purposes, should take into account the following rules.

#### Order of Preference

The 4 attributes of the HTML Form Element of the Linked Field take the following order of preference:

- id
- name
- aria-label
- placeholder

#### Matching

 Custom Fields are **[matched ](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/101#bkmrk-%C2%A0-1)**based on **exact** and **case-insensitive comparison**, e.g. for the field mylogin

- Matched Names: MyLogin, myLogin
- Unmatched Names: mylogin2, login

#### Prefixing

Prefixes can be used to influence matching.

##### csv Prefix

To add multiple possible logins, use the prefix **csv=**.

For example, if a custom field is named csv=mylogin,MyLogin, myLogin, field name matching will work on mylogin or MyLogin or myLogin.

##### regex Prefix

To allow matching based on **[regular expressions](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/101#bkmrk-regular-expression)**, use the prefix **regex=**.

For example, regex=^myLogin will match on myLogin, or MyLogin.

<div id="bkmrk--2" style="mso-element: comment-list;"><div style="mso-element: comment;"><div class="msocomtxt" id="bkmrk--3" language="JavaScript" onmouseout="msoCommentHide('_com_1')" onmouseover="msoCommentShow('_anchor_1','_com_1')"></div></div></div><div id="bkmrk--4" style="mso-element: comment-list;"><div style="mso-element: comment;"><div class="msocomtxt" id="bkmrk--5" language="JavaScript" onmouseout="msoCommentHide('_com_1')" onmouseover="msoCommentShow('_anchor_1','_com_1')"></div></div></div>
