# LAPS

Lithnet Access Manager provides two distinct LAPS capabilities

## Web-based access to LAPS passwords managed by Microsoft LAPS

If you have Microsoft LAPS deployed (either the legacy LAPS or the new Windows LAPS), you can simply user access to those LAPS passwords using the Access Manager Service. AMS allows you to provide a highly secure, mobile friendly, consistent user interface, for accessing LAPS passwords across you organization, no matter what tool you use to manage them.

* [Setting up access to Microsoft LAPS passwords stored in Microsoft Entra ID](/ams/configuration/deploying-features/setting-up-laps/setting-up-microsoft-laps-for-aad.md)

## Universal LAPS access and passphrase support with Lithnet LAPS

Access Manager comes with an agent that can manage LAPS passwords in place of the Microsoft agent. Lithnet LAPS gives you the option of using much more friendly passphrases, instead of long and complicated passwords. It also works in places that Microsoft LAPS does not. We have full support for Windows devices that are domain joined, Entra-joined, or even stand alone. We also support managing the root password on macOS and Linux devices.

## Go one better than LAPS

However, you can go one better again, and do away with having to touch LAPS passwords in your environment entirely! Check out our RapidLAPS functionality for a fully passwordless LAPS experience.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/ams/configuration/deploying-features/setting-up-laps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
