3.1. Configuration 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. Dans la barre latérale, cliquez sur Réglages de sécurité de Guard.

    Lors de la première sélection des réglages de sécurité de Guard, la fenêtre Création des clés de sécurité Guard s'ouvre.

  3. Dans le champ Mot de passe, saisissez le mot de passe utilisé pour chiffrer vos données.

    Confirmez le mot de passe dans le champ Vérification en le saisissant à nouveau.

  4. Dans le champ Saisissez une adresse de courriel secondaire, saisissez l'adresse de courriel utilisée pour recevoir un mot de passe temporaire de réinitialisation du mot de passe de sécurité Guard.

  5. Cliquez sur Ok.
