The manager provides a crypto. authentication provider for the KeePass and also a GUI for the management. Based of the usage of X509-Certificates one KeePass-Database can encrypted for multiple users.

It allows KeePass to use an AES-Key (master key), which is encrypted with the X509-Certificate (use RSA-Keys) from the Windows certificate store and flat key files (*.crt)
of one or more users stored in a 7mkey-file, as a master key source.

After the selection of a X509-Certificate, it searchs the 7mkey-file for the certificates subject, gets the respective,
encrpyted AES-Key and decrypt it with the certificate. KeePass will use the returned decrypted AES-Key along with the other
given credentials (like password, keyfile) for open the database.

The GUI helps you to manage the certifcats and the keys.
