Requirements for installing Team Password Manager

Team Password Manager is a web application that is installed on a web/application server and is executed from a browser. These are the exact requirements:

Server

• Environment: for security reasons we advise the execution of Team Password Manager on at least a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a dedicated server. Do not use a shared server. Also, use https (encrypted connection from the browser to the server).
• Operating system: any operating system that can execute the next components. We have tested Team Password Manager on a number of Linux distributions, FreeBSD, Windows systems and OSX (x86).
• Web server: Apache 2 / nginx / IIS
• Database: MySQL 5.x to 8. Better MySQL 5.7+ for maximum performance.
• PHP 8.0 to 8.2 with the following PHP extensions or modules:
  • GD2 Extension. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php. GD2 is only required for generating the QR codes needed to configure two-factor authentication. It's not required to execute Team Password Manager and the installer doesn't check if it's installed. You'll still be able to configure two-factor authentication without QR codes, but it's much easier with them.
  • MySQLi extension. See http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php.
  • Multibyte string (mbstring) extension. See http://www.php.net/mbstring.
  • LDAP support. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ldap.php. This is only required if you want to use LDAP authentication.
  • The Hash extension (http://php.net/manual/en/book.hash.php) must be installed and the "sha256" algorithm present.
  • SAML authentication requires the following PHP extensions or modules to work: xml, date, zLib, openssl and curl. More on the SAML Authentication document.
• The SourceGuardian PHP Loader extension (v. 14.0.3 minimum). We provide instructions to install this extension if it’s not already installed. The SourceGuardian Loader is free.

Some notes:

• The Xdebug PHP extension must be disabled.
• If you're using FreeBSD: the installation of PHP for FreeBSD considers the following PHP extensions as optional and doesn't install them by default. You should: filter, session, hash and json.
• If you're using Apache with CGI or FPM: set cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in php.ini.
• If you're using IIS: set cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in php.ini and allow double escaping.
• If you're using MySQL 8: if you installed MySQL 8 with the authentication method "Use Strong Password Encryption for Authentication" you should set the default_authentication_plugin to mysql_native_password. See the installation document to learn how to do this.
