This chapter begins by describing how to start, log on to, and navigate the User Client Console. The chapter then describes step-by-step instructions for doing the tasks listed above.
To start the User Client Console, on the Start menu, click All Programs, click Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Client, and then click Symantec Endpoint Encryption Client.
The Logon panel appears (“Logon Panel” on page 35), if SSO is not enabled. If SSO is enabled, the Logon panel
also appears if this is the first time that you are launching the User Client Console in this Windows session, or if you chose to log off of your Symantec Endpoint Encryption session the last time you exited the User Client
Console.
The Home panel appears (“Home Panel” on page 40), if SSO is enabled and you are subsequently launching the
User Client Console after choosing not to log off of your Symantec Endpoint Encryption session the last time you exited the User Client Console.
You will be prompted to register, if you have not already done so (Chapter 2 “Registration & Re-Registration” on page 4).
You will be advised that all user account slots have been taken and you cannot register. Contact your Client
Administrator.
The User Client Console will be launched automatically under the following circumstances:
Following registration, to encourage you to review your settings.
Following the application of new Authenti-Check policies, to encourage you to update or set your questions and answers.
