Smart Card to SED - Auto-enrollment and Auto-provisioning
A policy may be set remotely by the ERAS Administrator that will automatically enroll the smart card to
the drive. The enrollment will occur after the user signs onto Windows with a valid smart card. In
addition, the user may or may not need to be provisioned to the drive by ERAS – this is also determined
remotely by policy. An example use case could be:
1. The IT staff deliver an unlocked but managed computer and a valid smart card to the end user
2. The end user turns on the computer, but does not need to unlock the drive
3. The end user uses the smart card to sign-on to Windows
4. The policies set remotely by the administrator automatically enroll the smart card, and then lock
the drive
5. The end user shuts down the computer, the computer is now locked
6. The user boots the computer, and must use their smart card and pin to unlock the drive
Hibernate and Sleep/Standby
Windows does not natively support sleep/standby (S3) on an SED. When Windows enters
Sleep/Standby, the SED is powered down and cannot resume. For the best security, Wave recommends
the usage of Hibernate instead. Upon resume from Hibernate, authentication will be required.
ESC includes a feature to enable Windows to resume from Sleep/Standby even when the SED is locked.
This feature is only enabled if the following conditions are met:
• The computer is running Windows 7
• S3 drivers are installed. These are installed by ESC unless omitted
.
• The Enable S3 support for SED policy, that ships with ERAS, is set.
If using the Sleep/Standby feature on the SED, authentication will not be
required on resume from Sleep/Standby. Using Hibernation instead will
enhance security and require authentication.
