Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders Policy Settings
| 49
Enable network encryption
This tick box switches network encryption on/off. If unchecked, then no encryption will
be done on network shares, no matter what other encryption settings are made for the
network. Also, content copied, moved or created directly on network drives will not be
encrypted.
The default setting is enabled. Changes to this setting require the client machine to
reboot after the policy update in order for the change to take effect.
Enable network bandwidth limit
Marking this option limits the participation when encrypting folders on network drives.
All Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders clients connecting to a network cooperate
to encrypt files found in shared encrypted directories. This setting allows users with a
poor network capacity to be excluded from this cooperation as long as the bandwidth
is lower than the specified limit. Specify the limit in the field. The default limit is 50
kB/sec, which signifies a quite busy network.
Disable encryption on slow network connections
This option defines a limit (network latency) beyond which this Endpoint Encryption for
Files and Folders client will not participate in encryption of existing network files.
Specify the limit in the field.
Maximum clients to encrypt folder
This option imposes a limit on the number of client machines that will encrypt a
particular network folder. This option makes network encryption more cost-efficient in
that not all the clients will run to each and every network folder to encrypt it if
specified by a policy. Such a “rush” could potentially cause network congestion and
jam encryption. Hence, this option introduces a control to enforce network encryption
more efficiently. If the maximum number of clients is already working on a folder,
then the other clients will ignore these folders and proceed to the other folders set to
be encrypted by the policy. If the network bandwidth permits, setting a higher value
than the default “5” will speed up the pace at which existing folders are being
encrypted on the network.
