You can create a new user-based policy with a required token type and deploy it to the required system or a system group. You can also edit and deploy an existing policy.

Make sure that:

  • The user is already created in Active Directory.

  • Drive Encryption is installed on at least the minimum supported ePO - On-prem version.

  • The server task DE LDAP Server User/Group Synchronization is scheduled and runs normally between ePO - On-prem and Microsoft Active Directory.

Task
  1. Click Menu → Systems → System Tree, then select a group from the System Tree pane.

  2. Select a System, then click Actions → Agent → Modify Policies on a Single System to open the Policy Assignment page.

  3. From the Product drop-down list, select Drive Encryption 8.x. The policy categories under Drive Encryption display the system's assigned policy.

    Note

    For SmartCards that conform to the PKI, PIV, or CAC standards, Drive Encryption uses the information present in a public certificate store of a PKI smartcard to look up users and encrypt their unique Drive Encryption key with the public key available in their certificate. This certificate must be configured while selecting the PKI SmartCard token.

  8. Click Save in the Policy Settings page, then click Save in the User Based Policies settings page.

  9. Send an agent wake-up call.
