| CustomizeKeePass features various options for network administrators to customize the program's appearance and behavior. |
PreliminariesMost 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.
Minimum
Master Password RequirementsYou can specify several properties that master passwords must have in order to be accepted (length, estimated quality, ...). See Specifying Minimum Master Password Properties.
Specifying
UI Element StatesSeveral elements of the user interface (UI) can be disabled or hidden.
The elements to disable/hide are specified using the UIFlags value (in the
UI node), which 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. |
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).
