How to log into boot logon with an administrative account?
In the event an administrator needs to log into SecureDoc Control Center with administrative rights, he/she will need to log into boot logon with an administrative key file.
Possible reasons for doing this:
- to decrypt the hard drive(s), or
- to change SecureDoc configurations, etc.
First, review the SES User Manual subsection entitled "Adding Key Files to a User" (you'll find this in the Chapter entitled "Working with SES Management Console", in the section entitled "Working with Users"). You'll be creating this key file using a User Account that has Administrator rights, of course.
After creating the key file, save it to a token, USB drive or floppy. The administrator can then attach it to the user's computer.
At boot logon, type the full path to the token, USB drive or floppy used.
- For a USB drive or floppy, type the full path and file
- For a key file on token, enter the number 0 beside Default User ID.
Make sure the administrative key file contains the same AES encryption key being used to encrypt the computer.
NOTE: When using a USB drive, the BIOS must be able to support USB drives at pre-boot.
