Self Service Anywhere: Encrypted systems accounts

Users with access to Bravura Pass ’s web interface can recover an encrypted system through the Unlock encrypted systems/accounts (HDD) module.

If they have forgotten their password, they can access Bravura Security Fabric using another form of authentication. This can be another password on a trusted system, security questions, a hardware token (for example, SecurID, SafeWord), or some other means.

Once logged in, the user clicks Unlock encrypted systems/accounts to access the Unlock encrypted systems/accounts (HDD) module, which will provide them with instructions on how to acquire a challenge code for the system, if required. The relevant connector will use this challenge code to generate a response code that can be used to unlock the encrypted device.

Once users have regained access to the locked system, it is recommended that they change the encryption key, if this functionality is not already provided through the Bravura Security Fabric .

Hard drive encryption system connectors use a default inputmask for its challenge and response codes. These connectors include McAfee Drive Encryption (agtmcee6 ), Sophos Safeguard Enterprise Server (agtsge), Bitlocker Hard Drive Encryption (agtbitlocker), Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (agtmbam), Check Point Endpoint Security (agtchkpt), and PGP Whole Disk Encryption Platform (agtpgwde).

Generally, the code format will be structured in the same way as displayed in the pre-boot screen of the hard drive encryption system.
