Documentation

Primary Documentation

• Delinea Documentation Portal: You are at the home page of the current Delinea Document Portal for Secret Server. It contains:

  • New material.
  • Converted knowledge base articles. These are usually marked as deprecated in the legacy knowledge base. They also may be missing all together because they were archived.
  • Links to legacy knowledge bases article that have yet to be converted or archived. There are very few of these left.
  • Links to legacy PDF documentation. These are also rare, and if you do find one, its target is very likely out of date.

• Knowledge Base Articles: Use the Search text box at the top of the page. This is the legacy platform that almost completely replaced with the Delinea Documentation Portal (where you are right now). There might still be a few locations here where this online documentation links to legacy documentation.
