Administrator Guide

Virtual Server User
● In the Management Console, a protected server can be found under its machine name. In addition, each protected server has
its own virtual server user account. Each account has a unique static user name and unique machine name.
● The virtual server user account is only used by Encryption on server operating systems and is otherwise transparent to the
operation of the protected server. The virtual server user is associated with the encryption key bundle and the Policy Proxy.
● After activation, the virtual server user account is the user account that is activated and associated with the server.
● After the virtual server user account is activated, all server logon/logoff notifications are ignored. Instead, during startup,
the computer automatically authenticates with the virtual server user, and then downloads the Machine key from the Dell
Server.
Install SED Manager and PBA Advanced
Authentication
● Review SED Requirements if your organization is using a certificate signed by a root authority, such as EnTrust or Verisign. A
registry setting change is needed on the client computer to enable SSL/TLS trust validation.
● Users log in to the PBA using their Windows credentials.
● The SED Manager and PBA Advanced Authentication installers can be located at:
○ From dell.com/support - If needed, Obtain the Software from dell.com/support and then Extract the Child Installers
from the Master Installer. After extraction, locate the file at C:\extracted\Encryption Management Agent.
○ From Your Dell FTP Account - Locate the installation bundle at Encryption-Enterprise-10.x.x.xxx.zip and then Extract
the Child Installers from the Master Installer. After extraction, locate the file at C:\extracted\Encryption
Management Agent.
