25.1 USB Encrypted Client: Launch and Exit

By turning a USB drive into a USB Encrypted Client, you can use its encryption features on any computer simply by plugging it in. No additional client installation is needed, offering quick and convenient access to encryption functions.

Launch

Insert the USB Encrypted Client into a computer, open the USB drive, and run USDAgent.exe. For the first use on a computer, the program requires initialization. Wait for the initialization to complete and then restart the computer.

For a USB client being used for the first time, after restarting, run USDConf.exe from the USB drive and click [Update Policy Online]. A dialog will appear to enter the server IP. After entering and confirming, the client will automatically fetch and import policies from the server.

Once the policy import is successful, run USDAgent.exe to open the USB Encrypted Client login dialog.

The login dialog includes the following elements:

Field Description
Removable Drive The current drive letter of the USB client.
Device Name The device name set when the USB Encrypted Client was authorized.
Password Default password is 123456. After login, it can be changed via Right-click encryption tray icon → Advanced → Change Password.
Remember Password If checked, the client will remember the password for future logins. To clear it, go to Right-click encryption tray icon → Advanced → Clear Remembered Password and click [OK]. The next login will require entering the password.
Auto Login If checked, the next login will use the previous password automatically. If the remembered password has been cleared, auto login will not occur.
Reset Password If the login password is forgotten, click “Reset Password” and send the original operation code from the dialog to the administrator. The administrator uses Console → Tools → Client Tool → Confirmation Code Generator to generate a confirmation code. Enter this code in the dialog and click [OK] to reset the password. After resetting, the login password returns to the default 123456.

Note:

  • For a USB client used for the first time, policies must be imported once before it can be launched. This step is not required for USB clients that have been used before.

After a successful login, the encryption client icon appears in the system tray, and encryption functions operate the same as the standard client.

Exit

Right-click the client icon in the system tray and select "Secure Exit" to close the USB Encrypted Client.
