Set Up Encrypt Control Actions

To set up an Encrypt control action

1. In the User Policy Editor, set up your Outgoing Email control triggers as required.
2. Set up your Outgoing Email control action. In particular, set the Intervention setting to one of the following:

   Advise Encryption

   For emails detected by a CA DataMinder endpoint agent, CA DataMinder displays a warning dialog to the email sender. The sender can choose one of the following:

   • Encrypt their email (they must supply a password)
   • Send the email unencrypted.
   • Cancel the email.

   For emails detected by a CA DataMinder email server agent, CA DataMinder can send a warning email back to the sender (providing server-side warnings are enabled). If the sender replies promptly, their original email is released and sent unencrypted. Otherwise it is not sent.

   Enforce Encryption.

   For emails detected by a CA DataMinder endpoint agent, CA DataMinder displays a warning dialog to the email sender. The sender can choose one of the following:

   • Encrypt their email (they must supply a password)
   • Cancel the email.

   They cannot choose to send the email unencrypted.

   For emails detected by a CA DataMinder email server agent, CA DataMinder can send a warning email back to the sender (providing server-side warnings are enabled). If the sender replies promptly, their original email is released and sent encrypted. Otherwise it is not sent. It cannot be sent unencrypted.

   Important! If server-side interactive warnings are enabled, make sure that the message to users in the warning email clearly explains the consequences of replying and not replying! In particular, note the different reply handling for the Advise Encryption and Enforce Encryption options.
