Password in NAV 2013 R2

navuser1

Dear All,

Where does NAV 2013 R2 store password for the Credential Type "NavUserPassword" ?
How does the System validate the authentication ?

Thank you for your time!

If you check the database in SQL Server, you will see a table called "User property". I believe the password is encrypted and stored in this table (password field)

In order to use "NavUserPassword" authentication, you will also need to implement security certificates, so I guess NAV does a double validation.

First it checks that the client has a valid certificate and second checks if the password is correct.
