Secure viewing of encrypted hard disk drives
Some supported devices contain encrypted hard disk drives to prevent information stored on the
devices from being compromised. MVP is capable of retrieving hard disk drive information without
interfering with the security of the device.
If the device has an encrypted hard disk drive and is communicating over a secure channel, an
administrator can use the Storage Devices task to view the drive. As a precaution, if the hard disk
drive is encrypted and the device is
not
communicating securely, the task will not display the hard
disk drive information. In addition, though MVP is able to view encrypted hard disk drives, MVP will
not allow a user to change the encryption for the device.
To access the Storage Devices task, go to
Features
Æ
Storage Devices
or select
Storage Devices
from the All Tasks list.
User authentication
MarkVision Professional utilizes three security techniques to authenticate user access to MVP:
LDAP Server authentication, active session expiration, and account password expiration.
