How EncrypTight Users Work with ETEP Users

How EncrypTight Users Work with ETEP Users

EncrypTight manages ETEP user accounts. In order for EncrypTight to communicate with the ETEP, it needs to know the ETEP’s user name and password. It will try to use the credentials that you used to log in to EncrypTight. If that doesn’t match the credentials that are configured on the ETEP, EncrypTight will ask you to enter the appliance user name and password. EncrypTight will remember these appliance credentials for the duration of the EncrypTight session.

To avoid having to enter the ETEP credentials each session, create an EncrypTight account with credentials that match the ETEP user accounts. Then log in to EncrypTight using the account that matches the ETEPs that you are managing.

Table 17 summarizes the relationship between EncrypTight users and ETEP users, which is explained in more detail in the examples that follow.

Example 1: Default EncrypTight user and default ETEP user

In a new installation of EncrypTight, the default user name and password is admin/admin. The default user name and password on the ETEP is also admin/admin.

Without any changes to EncrypTight user accounts or ETEP appliance users, EncrypTight is able to manage the ETEP using the default user names and passwords. Log in to EncrypTight as admin/admin and manage the ETEP.

Example 2: Setting up new EncrypTight and ETEP users

Set up new EncrypTight and ETEP user names and passwords as follows:

1Log in to EncrypTight as admin/admin.

2Add an EncrypTight administrator user to match the user name and password that you plan to set up on the ETEPs. In this example we plan to set up an ETEP admin account with the user name beacon and password lighthouse. The first step is add a new EncrypTight account for a user called beacon, with password lighthouse and group ID admin.

Do not delete the default EncrypTight account of admin/admin until you have set up the new user on the ETEP (step 4).
