Once the RapidIdentity Client for Windows file is installed follow these steps to edit the configuration file.

Note:It is only necessary to edit the RapidIdentity Client for Windows configuration file if the required configuration parameters were not provided during the installation or they have changed since.
  1. Locate Server.configuration in Identity Automation > RapidIdentity Client for Windows.
  2. Copy the Server file to the computer's desktop and open it to enter the following edits:
    1. Under the section titled "[/Workstation]" enter the following after DefaultDomain=:
      • For non-domain machines: add a period (.)
        • Example: DefaultDomain=.
        • This authenticates with the user that the credentials provided will allow access to the local machine only. Important: This computer must have a user account set up to proceed, in order for it to be used as a local machine. Additionally, the RapidIdentity User account password must match the password for the local user account that is created. Ideally, the passwords would be set to never expire on both the local machine as well as on the RapidIdentity server when using local accounts for non-domain joined workstations.
      • For domain-joined machines: enter the name of the domain, which is the NetBIOS name.
        • Example: DefaultDomain=(insert NetBIOS name)
    2. Save changes.
  3. Move the edited Server file back into its original directory (Identity Automation > RapidIdentity Client for Windows).
  4. Click to Replace the file in the destination and press Continue to provide administrator permission to copy the file to the RapidIdentity Client for Windows folder.

Once the file is edited, a reboot can be performed at this time, but it is not necessary.
