![]() | Customization (2.x)KeePass 2.x features various options for network administrators to customize the program's appearance and behavior. |
Most options below are configured by directly editing the
KeePass.config.xml
configuration file. If you're planning to
deploy a customized KeePass version, you should fully understand the
KeePass configuration system,
especially how to enforce some settings and leave others up to users.
Note that KeePass features a rich plugin framework. If there's no item in the XML file to configure what you're thinking about, you might want to write a plugin.
You can specify several properties that master passwords must have in order to be accepted (length, estimated quality, ...). See Specifying Minimum Master Password Properties.
The state (enabled, disabled, visible, hidden) of several user interface
(UI) elements can be specified using the UIFlags
value
of the UI
node in the configuration file.
This can be a bitwise combination of one or more of
the following flags:
Flag (Hex) | Flag (Dec) | Description |
---|---|---|
0x0 | 0 | Don't force any states (default). |
0x1 | 1 | Disable 'Tools' -> 'Options' menu item. |
0x2 | 2 | Disable 'Tools' -> 'Plugins' menu item. |
0x4 | 4 | Disable 'Tools' -> 'Triggers' menu item. |
0x8 | 8 | Disable controls to specify after how many days the master key should/must be changed. |
0x10000 | 65536 | Hide built-in profiles in the password generator context menu of the entry editing dialog. |
0x20000 | 131072 | Show UI elements related to last access times. Note: Databases are not marked as modified when a last access time changes. Thus, when only last access times are changed and the user closes the database (without saving manually first and without a save forced e.g. by a trigger or plugin), the changes to the last access times are lost. Requirements: This flag is supported by KeePass 2.25 and higher. |
The value of UIFlags
must be specified in decimal notation.
For example, if you want to disable the 'Options' and 'Plugins' items in
the 'Tools' menu, you'd specify 3 as value for the UIFlags
node
(0x1 + 0x2 = 0x3 = 3).
