Starting DynamicAccess LAN Encryption Software

You start the DynamicAccess LAN Encryption software by choosing a secure profile.

1Right-click the padlock icon in the taskbar to see the secure profiles on your system.

2Select the secure profile you want to use from the list.

■If your organization is set up to use certificates to authenticate the users on the network, you are prompted to provide your user name and password. Find your name in the User File list and provide your password in this dialog box.

■If your organization is not using certificates to authenticate users, you are prompted to provide the shared secret for the connection. A shared secret must be agreed upon between you and the system to which you are connecting to secure the data communication.

3To switch to a different secure profile, right-click the padlock icon in the taskbar and select a different profile. The profile in use displays a check mark next to it.

You will be prompted to enter your user name and password for certificate authorization, or provide a shared secret when you switch to a different secure profile.
