Sharing Knox vaults created by another user via LAN ?

v1sionary

I assume since you mention in your newsletter how you save your source code in Knox that multiple users in your office can access the same Knox vaults, although I know from reading the FAQ that you can't SYNC vaults, nor have two users open the same vault simultaneously--which makes complete sense.



But I've spent a good amount of time reading, experimenting and exploring and, although I understand other users can open the vaults by simply typing the password to cannot figure out how to add a previously created vault to a second user's Knox menubar.



We've saved the vault/sparsebundle in question to an OS X Server volume that's shared by multiple users and simultaneous access isn't required.



Can you advise?

Welcome v1sionary,



Open Knox's Preferences > Vaults pane. Drag you existing vault into the window of vaults.



I have not tried this in a server environment but I think it will work for you. Thats one common way of adding a vault to knox. The last time I did this I got a prompt to open the vault, I think you can simply dismiss this if you wish as it really should have no effect on just a listing of the vaults.

I'm sorry for the confusion. We have our own Knox vaults, stored locally. These are not shared or accessed by multiple people.
