		INFO & KNOWLEGDE

Aside the Winmagic SecureDoc Client on the personal computers, for organisation running the solution it is interesting, which components Winmagic SecureDoc consists of. SecureDoc Enterprise Server consists of at least 3 (optional 5) components. In the background there are:

• The SES database
• The SES Management Console

In the front there are:

• SD Connex
• SD Active Directory Sync (optional)
• Online Password Recovery (optional)

The SES-Database

SecureDoc Enterprise Server stores all information, group membership, object properties, passwords and access keys in an encrypted database. This database can be hosted on any existing SQL server as additional database or run in an instance of SQL desktop edition (SQL 2000 MSDE or SQL 2005 Express Edition). Administrative rights on the SQL server are not necessary after the creation of the database.

SES Management Console:

The Management Console is used to access and display the encrypted content of the database. In the Console the assigned administrator can setup configurations, administer user accounts and keys, prepare installation packages and follow up events. It can be installed on the workstation of the assigned administrators. Multiple consoles can access one SES database.

SD Connex

This is the communication service of SecureDoc Enterprise Server. It connects SecureDoc client software and the SES database. It has to be visible to all “online clients” in an organisation. In huge organisations, there can be multiple SD Connex servers. “Offline clients” communicate with the database using email, CD or USB media.

Active Directory Sync (optional)

This service synchronises user accounts, groups and container with Active Directory. Changes, made in AD are automatically taken into the SES database. The other way round, changes on objects in the SES database are not written back into AD.

Online Password Recovery (optional)

The OPR is a web interface, that allows the helpdesk team (or optional the user himself) to recover forgotten passwords or unlock locked computers in a secure way without contacting the SES administrator.
