Activate ESET Endpoint Encryption via Self Enrollment

1.Enable ESET Endpoint Encryption Server Direct Communications - ESDirect.

This option is enabled by default on installations of ESET Endpoint Encryption Server (v 2.8.0 or later).

In the Control Panel, select the Organization section and click Settings.

Select the check box Enable ESET Endpoint Encryption Server Direct Communications. If required, you can change the Communications Port from the default 8266.

2.Configure the firewall.

For the client device to self-enroll, the network must allow access on the specified communications port into the machine hosting the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server.

Ensure that both the hardware and software firewalls protecting the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server open port 8266 (the default setting) for both UDP and TCP traffic from domain network traffic. Alternatively, with software firewalls, you can specify the executable of the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server itself, dlpecsrv.exe as exclusion. This file may be located in the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server folder C:\Program Files\ESET Endpoint Encryption Server\ (Program Files (x86) on 32-bit hosts).

3.Ensure client subscriptions have been added to the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server.

4.Self Enrollment requires users who are activating to have their details imported from an Active Directory server and have a subscription assigned to them. When you configure the Active Directory settings, you can select which subscription the new users are allocated to when they enroll. Only already subscribed users can use Self Enrollment if no subscription is selected. If you did not automatically import users, perform a manual import before proceeding.

5.Device Policy

Select the Applying to existing devices to update the existing devices after you change the setting.

6.Install the software on target devices.

With the enabled Self Enrollment setting, you must install the software to the devices. Install the software via push install or a client .msi install.

7.When the user logs into their domain network profile on the device, they will activate automatically and appear subscribed and linked to the device in ESET Endpoint Encryption Server.
