  • 1.  Symantec Endpoint Encryption 11 User Credentials

    Posted Feb 27, 2015 03:27 PM

    Hi All,

    I installed the Clients (SEE Mgmt Agent, Drive Encrypt Client, Remove Storage Client, in that order.)

    The installations was on a Windows 7 Por domain user account.

    Should there be a prompt from SEE to change the login credentials?

    At the boot screen with SEE logo, I enter the domain user's name and current password and

    and the computer boots into Windows. I'm never prompted to change a password/passphrase.

     

    Thanks!

    SEE v11 syncs with the user's Windows password, so there is no need to change a separate SEE password.

    As long as the users use CTRL+ALT+DEL to change passwords in Windows, it should continue to sync with the Windows password.

    Mike,

    Thanks for your response.

    I figured having a another password would be more secure. If I recall, I installed the PGP Desktop Client a couple of months ago to test it, and it prompted for a passphrase.

    Do you know if there is an option in the SEEM Mgr to allow separate passwords to exist?

    I want the password at the SEE logo boot screen and the domain password to be different.

    Thanks
