EncrypTight User Guide

This section includes the following topics:

This chapter discusses user accounts for the EncrypTight software. These accounts are unique to 
EncrypTight and should not be confused with user accounts on the appliance or external ETKMS. 

EncrypTight is able to authenticate users when they start the application. This authentication check is 
intended to prevent an unauthorized person from adding, deleting, or modifying appliance configurations 
or policies. User authentication is enabled by default. When you first start EncrypTight, use the default 
user name admin and password admin to log in.

The following list summarizes how user accounts work:

●

EncrypTight has two user types: administrator and user. The EncrypTight administrator controls 
access to the EncrypTight application by managing its users and passwords. The administrator can 
create, modify, and delete other users, while the user can change only its own password. 

●

User verification is enabled by default. 

●

An administrator account exists by default with the user name admin and password admin. 

●

You must have at least one administrator account. If you have only one administrator account, 
EncrypTight prevents you from deleting it until you create a replacement.

●

Multiple user and administrator accounts are allowed. User names must be unique.

●

When authentication is enabled, the default password expiration period is set to zero, which means 
“do not expire.”
