<h2 id="head-b2e3c3d21cefdfa1346c517ec63c0c6652fba1d1">Overview</h2>
<p>All parts of administration of the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> are done through a comfortable web interface. If this is the first time you use the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>, just follow the steps below. </p>
<p>You can safely ignore the <em>Foreword</em> if you're in a hurry. </p>
<p><em>Initialization</em> describes the process of integrating a new harddisk. You usually have to perform this steps if you start with a new <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> or after changing the harddisk. </p>
<p>In the <em>Configuration</em> section, you can configure the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> according to your personal needs, e.g. change your desired language for the web interface or change the IP address of the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>. </p>
<p>Don't forget to read the <em>Hints / Caveats</em> section too. </p>
<h2 id="head-4244ebf306514fe0aba321b9bb92e70375af2d1f">Foreword</h2>
<p>Okay, you finished the <a href="CryptoBoxUserGettingStarted.html">CryptoBoxUserGettingStarted/en</a> and are now sitting in front of a computer that is connected via network with your <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>. You point a browser to "<a href="https://192.168.0.23">https://192.168.0.23</a>" and the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> interface appears. </p>
<p>Before you can save data on your <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>, its harddisk has to be formatted with a cryptographic filesystem. Sounds complicated but don't be scared - it's really a "one click" thing. <img src="../../../var/www/cryptobox-img/smile.png" alt=":)" height="15" width="15"> </p>
<h2 id="head-8853498a529036ba37e953d7ae99abb1c1da0113">Initialization</h2>
<p>Click on <em>Initialize <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a></em> in the title bar. </p>
<p>Now you are promted to enter two passwords twice (because we want to train your typing skills ;). </p>
<ul>
<li><p> The first password is the <em>administration password</em>. </p>
<ul>
<li><p> It is used to protect the configuration of the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>. </p>
</li>
<li><p> This is necessary to make sure, that no one without your permission can destroy your data by re-initializing the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>. </p>
</li>
<li><p> Chances are good, that you will only need it once. </p>
</li>
<li><p> You may leave it empty, but this is not recommended. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p> The <em>crypto password</em> is the more important password, protecting the data on your harddisk. Choose it wisely! </p>
<ul>
<li><p> You will need it, whenever you want to access your encrypted data. </p>
</li>
<li><p> For a secure password consider a length of at least 15 characters including digits and special characters. The security of your encrypted data stands or falls with a good password. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p> To avoid mistakes and to remind you on what you're going to do, you have to type the displayed red phrase into the last field. </p>
</li>
<li><p> Now you can complete the initialization by clicking on the <em>Initialize CryptoBox</em> button at the bottom of the form. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>That's all. Wasn't it a real "one click" thing? Cryptography has never been easier to use. <img src="../../../var/www/cryptobox-img/smile4.png" alt=";)" height="15" width="15"> </p>
<p>The initialization process takes place in the background and will be completed after a few minutes, depending on your harddisk's size. </p>
<h2 id="head-e1f6e8110136eced7bad4ae25232673890122d13">Configuration</h2>
<p>While the initialization is usually done only once, the configuration can be changed at any time you want. You can reach it by clicking at <em>Configuration</em> in the menu bar of the website. Now you see a form with four fields: </p>
<ul>
<li><p> If you defined a administration passwort during <em>Initialization</em>, you have to enter it first. Otherwise this field does not appear. </p>
</li>
<li><p> If the default network address (IP) doesn't fit into your network infrastructure, you can change it in the second field. </p>
</li>
<li><p> The timeout defines the amount of time (in minutes) after that the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> deactivates the access to the encrypted data. If you e.g. copy a file on the box, it starts counting at zero, so down-/uploads won't be interrupted. </p>
<ul>
<li><p> It's good choice to enter a small number (few minutes). </p>
</li>
<li><p> A timeout of <em>0</em> turns off the automatic deactivation - this is not recommended. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p> At <em>language preferences</em> you can select the default language for the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> interface. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Complete your changes by clicking on <em>Save configuration</em>. </p>
<p>That's all - your <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> is now ready for <a href="CryptoBoxUserDailyUse.html">daily use</a>! </p>

<ul>
<li><p> All data on the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a> harddisk will be erased during <em>Initialization</em>. </p>
</li>
<li><p> All passwords have to be typed twice to reduce the chance of a typo. </p>
</li>
<li><p> The optional adminstration password is necessary for configuration only. </p>
</li>
<li><p> The crypto password protects your beloved data. </p>
</li>
<li><p> If the cryptobox is not reachable by browsing to 192.168.0.23, you may have to adjust the network settings of your computer for initialization of the <a href="CryptoBox.html">CryptoBox</a>. </p>
