Encryption of documents stored in EFS

[nyny]

Hello Team,
We are planning to install Livelink for a ultra confidential team in the company. (Livelink related passwords will be 4 part-ed with 4 pieces being typed!!)

They want to store EFS content in encrypted manner. Meaning in EFS everything is a .dat file and with most content being office or pdf, it is easy to just put those suffix instead of dat and open the file.

So they want to encrypt all content that is stored in EFS.

Has anybody done this. Can you please throw some light on this.

Thanks

You have a few choices here, as you point out the EFS is just a UNC file share type thing. Some hardware providers will provide an encrypted disk type thing, or perhaps a WORM drive type thing.

However, within OpenText you could use the Livelink Archive Server which does this and a lot more, suggest you speak to OT as this can be a little pricey, so there may be other options.

With LEA you can exactly acheive what you want.For eg in Livelink if HR is the guys who want their documents encrypted,we would create a archive storage provider called HR Archive.In LL we would then create a rule identifying all HR content(content stored below HR Folder) to use that archive.
In LEA we would create a logical archive called HR,and turn on encryption.Communication between LES and LEA can be https whereby all comm is SSL enabled and the file handles provided,only if LES provides a private key to LEA so that achieves the utmost level of all communication.
LEA requires you to install a archive server which in turn requires Tomcat,a database instance of its own,file storage for building up its archives and so on.
The ELS 10.1.0 which is a bundled installer of LEA 9.7.1 and LES 9.7.1 with other associated services is the one you should pursue.



Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
