After the install file has been run on a client machine and the machine restarted, it will
immediately connect back to the Endpoint Encryption Server(s). When the user has
logged into Windows, the Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders authentication
dialog can be set to appear – a so-called forced logon. This mandatory logon is subject
to a policy setting; see the General s
ection of this guide for details. If enforced, this
first authentication cannot be bypassed as it forces the user to retrieve correct
encryption policy from the Endpoint Encryption database. Without the forced
authentication, there is no guarantee that the user really gets the correct policy
applied.
If there is no Endpoint Encryption Server available at the time of the forced first
authentication, the user will be working with the default policy from which the install
set was created (i.e. a blank policy if not created from a dedicated policy) and without
any encryption keysInstalling, Upgrading, and Removing Endpoint Encryption for Files
and Folders
Creating the Install set
The Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders client is created by extracting the
necessary client files along with some configuration files from the Endpoint Encryption
database, via the Endpoint Encryption Manager, and packaging these files into an
executable file.
