Enabling GuardPoints
A CTE client does not enforce protection on disabled GuardPoints. References to those GuardPoints exist in the CipherTrust Manager configuration. To resume protection of such GuardPoints, you need to enable them.
Enable individual GuardPoints
To enable a disabled GuardPoint:
Open the Transparent Encryption application.
Select the client or client group from which you want to enable the GuardPoint.
Click a client under the Client Name column (Clients > Clients).
Click a client group under the Client Group Name column (Clients > Client Groups).
On the GuardPoints tab, select the GuardPoint to be enabled.
Click the overflow icon (
) corresponding to the desired GuardPoint, and click Enable.
The GuardPoint status becomes Active. It might take some time to update the status. When the GuardPoint is enabled, the CTE client starts enforcing protection on the GuardPoint.
Enable multiple GuardPoints
To enable a disabled GuardPoints at once:
Open the Transparent Encryption application.
Select the client or client group from which you want to enable the GuardPoint.
Click a client under the Client Name column (Clients > Clients).
Click a client group under the Client Group Name column (Clients > Client Groups).
In the the GuardPoints tab, select the checkboxes corresponding to the GuardPoints that you want to enable.
Select the Enable option from the top.
A confirmation dialog box with a message will appear.
Click Enable.
After the process is complete, a screen will be displayed showing the details of the successfully enabled GuardPoints. The status of these GuardPoints becomes Active. This screen also provides information on any GuardPoints that could not be enabled, along with the corresponding troubleshooting error messages. After addressing the issues, you may attempt the enable operation again.
It might take some time to update the status. When the GuardPoints are enabled, the CTE client starts enforcing protection on the GuardPoint.
