Lithnet Docs Hub
Product documentation, setup guides, and support resources from Lithnet
Welcome to the Lithnet documentation hub. Here you'll find installation guides, configuration walkthroughs, troubleshooting resources, and reference documentation for all Lithnet products.
Access Manager
Access Manager helps you eliminate permanent administrative access to your workstations and servers. Instead of granting standing privileges, users request access through a web app — retrieving LAPS passwords, activating just-in-time admin group membership, or looking up BitLocker recovery keys — with every request authorized, audited, and time-limited.
Its RapidLAPS feature integrates with the Windows logon screen, letting authorized users log in with the LAPS account by scanning a QR code or entering a PIN — without ever typing or seeing the password. Cross-platform agents extend LAPS management to Linux and macOS.
Access Manager is available in Community (free) and Enterprise editions.

Password Protection for Active Directory
Password Protection enhances Active Directory password policy by checking passwords at change time against breached password databases, custom ban lists, and configurable complexity rules. It runs entirely on your domain controllers — passwords never leave your environment, and no additional servers or internet connectivity are required.
