<h3>I successfully opened a volume. How can I access the data now?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>CryptoBox-Server</i>: you should ask your administrator. In case
|
|
|
|
|
you are the administrator, then you should take a look at the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
file for the <i>MountDir</i> setting. Publish this directory via your
|
|
|
|
|
favourite fileserver (e.g. samba, webdav, nfs, ftp, ...) and tell your
|
|
|
|
|
users how to reach it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>CryptoBox-CD</i>: browse the network neighborhood for the CryptoBox server
|
|
|
|
|
(windows), scan the network (KDE or Gnome) or type something like the
|
|
|
|
|
following into your favourite terminal to mount a volume:<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>smbmount //IP_OF_CRYPTOBOX/VOLUME_NAME /media/FOO</tt></p>

<h3>Recently I partitioned my harddisk. Now I can open the volume without a
|
|
|
|
|
password. Isn't it encrypted anymore?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The partition manager creates non-encrypted volumes by default. If you want
|
|
|
|
|
to enable encryption for a volume, then you have to format it. Be aware
|
|
|
|
|
that this will erase all data of the volume.</p>

<h3>How can I restrict access to certain data?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The CryptoBox does not support user and access management for now. Everyone
|
|
|
|
|
in your local network can access all open volumes for reading and writing.
|
|
|
|
|
This behavior is based on the assumption, that there are no evil guys in
|
|
|
|
|
your local network. Please take care for this!</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the next major release (v0.4) we plan to implement user and access
|
|
|
|
|
management.</p>

<h3>There is a <i>user manager</i> available via <i>preferences</i>.
|
|
|
|
|
What is it good for?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These administrative users can access restricted parts of the CryptoBox
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. the plugin manager or the network settings).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Users who just want to open and close volumes do not need an
|
|
|
|
|
administrative account.</p>
