3.1. Configuración de Guard

Prior to be able to use Guard, you have to apply some basic settings.

  • First of all you have to enter a Guard security password that is used to encrypt data and to access encrypted data.

  • Enter a secondary E-Mail address that is used if you forget your Guard security password. In this case, use the function for resetting the Guard security password. A new password will then be sent to you. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enter a secondary E-Mail address for this purpose. Otherwise the new password is sent to your primary E-Mail account.

There are two options for making the basic settings:

  • Define the basic settings while initially using an encryption function.

  • Define the basic settings in the groupware settings page before using the encryption function.

How to define the basic settings when initially using an encryption function:

  1. Enable the encryption function when composing an E-Mail, encrypting a file or uploading a new file by clicking on the Encrypt icon .

  2. You consecutively will be asked to enter a Guard security password and a secondary E-Mail address. Enter the data.

How to define the basic settings before initially using an encryption:

  1. Click the System menu icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click the Settings menu item.

  2. En la barra lateral, pulse en Ajustes de seguridad de Guard.
