During a maintenance window from January 25-27, 2025, DMS Lite users were migrated from a legacy Citrix gateway solution to a new AppStream authentication interface powered by AWS to provide more robust access to Transflo Cloud applications. After the January 2025 migration, follow these steps to log in to your DMS SaaS client applications:
-
In a supported web browser, navigate to the following new link for the Transflo DMS system:

Enter the same credentials you used in the Citrix gateway. Use the following convention:

Password characters are hidden for your protection. To show each character, click Show password.
-
If you cannot remember your password, click Forgot password to receive a special link that allows you to reset a new password.

Click Sign in.

In the AWS Access Portal window, click the Applications tab.

In 2023-2024, Release 4.9.4.x of DMS Enterprise expanded the scope of the Transflo DMS API to include Gauss repositories. The Transflo Gauss Repository API acts as a plug-in or auxiliary API to the standard Transflo Web API. As a popular example, DMS ezView SaaS or on-premise client users can now retrieve documents from one or more Gauss repositories using this API.

In October 2024, the Transflo DMS administration site was updated with a new menu item and settings for Credential Manager. As an administrator at a DMS customer organization running Transflo DMS, you will likely upgrade from DMS 4.9.x to 5.1.1 or newer in late 2024 or early 2025. After you upgrade your DMS database, sites, and other components to 5.1.1 or newer, use the new Credential Manager to handle all your credentials, for example, for storage paths, external queues, and other features.
A new tool is available for administrators during installs and upgrades to convert any existing credentials and copy them into the new Credential Manager table. See New! DMS Credential Manager.
