Single Sign-On (SSO) synchronization

ESET Endpoint Encryption SSO synchronization is out of sync.

ESET Endpoint Encryption will automatically synchronize your Windows password with the ESET Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Encryption (FDE) pre-boot password when:

you change your Windows password locally from your machine (using CTRL + ALT + DEL - Change Password)

you sign into the Windows profile on your machine

The password can become out-of-sync when:

you change your Windows password on another workstation

an administrator changes your Windows password on a server (for example, using Active Directory on the Domain server)

you attempt to change your Windows password, but the machine was booted using a different user´s pre-boot credentials

Solution

You need to re-sync your machines individually, because SSO is controlled locally.

1.Go to the FDE pre-boot screen.

2.Type the old password and then the new password at the Windows screen (the sync will be performed when you log in to Windows).

Known SSO issue with ESET Endpoint Encryption version 4.9.4

Following the Windows Feature update installation, you may find that SSO does not re-sync automatically after changing your Windows password. If you have been affected by this problem, upgrade to version 5.0.0 or later, follow the password recovery steps above, and log in to Windows manually to allow SSO to re-sync automatically.
