Encryption / win 7 login

Lewok

needing a wee bit of advice.

We have just upgraded our software to include safe gaurd encryption. it worked fine on xp but now we are testing on win 7 machines i have hit a snag.

on the login screen you have the 2 options one with the sophos icon and one without.  If i use the one with sophos i am stright in and working away. if i use the other one i get the sophos authentication screen to complete my login.

is there a way to force my users to use this option and this option only? putting their password in twice isn't an option.

I have removed power on authentication as we need to wake the machines up remotley.

thanks

lee

    Hello lee,

    :smileytongue: you don't hold your user's in high esteem, do you? It shouldn't require a degree to make the right choice :smileytongue:. Carefully test the hiding of credential providers that Holger suggested.

    Anyway, this is only exposed if you do not use POA (or Passthrough). You are aware that you can temporarily disable POA for WOL, aren't you? So I can only imagine you want the machines ready for login before the users get to them ... Keep in mind that disabling POA reduces security (you got a prompt when you did so).
