Managing EncrypTight Users

If your EncrypTight deployment includes ETEPs running software version 1.6 or later, entering a password is optional.

If your deployment includes ETEPs with software previous to 1.6, or other models of PEPs, you must enter a valid password.

If user authentication is not enabled, you are logged into the system immediately.

This feature is used in conjunction with strict authentication in your EncrypTight deployment. To learn how to set up your system to use strict authentication with a Common Access Card, see “Using a Common Access Card” on page 294.
