22.21 Parameter Setting

Right-click the client icon in the system tray and select "Options". You can configure the security password, encryption system login, system log retention period, display of decryption request pop-up windows, and application management settings.

22.21.1 Security Password Settings

Set a security password

The security password serves the following purposes:

  • To prevent unauthorized decryption or external sharing by others using this client. A password must be entered for each decryption or external sharing.
  • When the client is offline, the password is required to log in to offline authorization mode to use offline encryption and decryption, enhancing document security while offline.
  • When the client is online and logs out of the encryption system, encryption functions are disabled. Re-login with the security password is required to restore functionality, strengthening system security.

The default security password is empty. To change it, open "Options" → "Security Password Settings," then enter the current and new passwords.

Clear Security Password

If a user forgets their security password, it can be cleared with administrator assistance using the client tool. Steps:

  • On the client machine, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift and type "secureat" to open the client tool.
  • Select "Clear Encryption Security Password" and click [Generate Operation Code].
  • A "Verify Operation Code" dialog will appear. Report the original operation code to the administrator.
  • In the console, the administrator goes to Tools → Client Tool → Confirmation Code Generator and enters the client's operation code. The client operation and related information will be displayed.
  • After verification, the administrator clicks [Generate Confirmation Code].
  • The administrator provides the confirmation code to the client. The client enters the correct confirmation code in the tool, and the security password will be cleared.

22.21.2 Security Password Input Settings

Click "Security Password Input Settings" in the Options dialog to configure how the security password is entered:

Option Description
Require input for every operation The password must be entered each time a file is decrypted or externally shared.
Require input for first operation only When the client starts, the password is required the first time the encryption system is logged into, or the first time a file is decrypted or externally shared. No password is required for subsequent operations.
No input required after login Once the client logs into the encryption system online or into offline authorization mode, decryption and external sharing do not require password entry.

22.21.3 Encryption System Login Settings

Online Login Settings

If the client has permission to log out of the encryption system, encryption functions are disabled after logout. The client must log back in to restore functionality. You can choose the login mode when the client starts.

Parameter Description:

Option Description
Manual login required Each time the client starts, it remains logged out. The user must manually enter the correct security password to log in.
Use previous state If the client was logged out during its last online session, it will remain logged out after restart. If it was logged in, it will remain logged in.
Auto login The client automatically logs into the encryption system at each startup.

Offline Login Settings

If the client has offline encryption/decryption permissions, it must log into offline authorization mode after going offline to use these functions. You can select the login mode for offline authorization.

Parameter Description:

Option Description
Manual login required Each time the client starts, it remains logged out of offline authorization mode. The user must manually enter the correct security password to log in.

By default, when a document is selected, the first-level right-click menu includes "Request Decryption" and "Request External Sharing", while other functions are placed in the second-level "Document Encryption System" menu. You can customize which functions appear in the first-level menu based on your preferences.
