How EncrypTight Users Work with ETEP Users
EncrypTight manages ETEP user accounts. In order for EncrypTight to communicate with the ETEP, it
needs to know the ETEP’s user name and password. It will try to use the credentials that you used to log
in to EncrypTight. If that doesn’t match the credentials that are configured on the ETEP, EncrypTight will
ask you to enter the appliance user name and password. EncrypTight will remember these appliance
credentials for the duration of the EncrypTight session.

To avoid having to enter the ETEP credentials each session, create an EncrypTight account with
credentials that match the ETEP user accounts. Then log in to EncrypTight using the account that

In a new installation of EncrypTight, the default user name and password is admin/admin. The default

manage the ETEP using the default user names and passwords. Log in to EncrypTight as admin/admin
and manage the ETEP.

on the ETEPs. In this example we plan to set up an ETEP admin account with the user name beacon
and password lighthouse. The first step is add a new EncrypTight account for a user called beacon,
with password lighthouse and group ID admin.
Do not delete the default EncrypTight account of admin/admin until you have set up the new user on
the ETEP (step 4).
