Recommended User-Based Policy Settings
The User-Based Policy controls the parameters for EEPC user accounts. For example, it contains the
options for selecting a token type (including password and smartcard) and password content rules.
You can configure the User Based Policies by navigating through Menu | Policy | Policy Catalog, then
selecting Endpoint Encryption 1.2.0 from the Product drop-down list.
Select User Based Policies from the Category drop-down list. Locate the My Default policy and click Edit
Settings. For more information about individual policy setting, see the McAfee Endpoint Encryption - 6.2
(EEPC) and 1.1 (EEMac) Product Guide.
User Based Policies in EEPC 6.2
A requirement of EEPC 6.2 is that you need to specify which groups of users are allowed or not to use
the Policy Assignment Rules. The allowed users get their required User Based Policies. Users that are
not allowed to use the Policy Assignment Rules inherit the default User Based Policies assigned to the
system.
Enforce the desired user-based policy to a user assigned to a client system by enabling the Configure
UBP enforcement option.
It is always better to assign the User Based Policies at the system level or branch level if possible,
rather than assigning using the Policy Assignment Rules. However, you can use the Policy Assignment
Rule option, if required, for assigning different policies to different users.
