This section describes the installation, configuration, and operation of the Data Protection Self Service Portal (DPSSP), which can be used with DE to allow users to obtain the recovery key or response code for a Drive Encryption system.

Important: Privacy Notice

DPSSP collects users' login names, system names, IP addresses, and audit data. Access to this information is available in DPSSP reports within ePO - On-prem. Ensure that access to these reports is authorized and appropriately managed.

The administrator must first install the dpssp.zip extension in ePO - On-prem, and make the required DPSSP server settings. An authorized client user can open the DPSSP portal on a system to obtain a response code for Drive Encryption upon entering the corresponding challenge code for the system to be recovered.

The DPSSP URL will be of the general form https://<ePO_IP_address>:<Port_Number>/dpssp/selfRecovery.
