I successfully opened a volume. How can I access the data now?
-
CryptoBox-Server: you should ask your administrator. In case
- you are the administrator, then you should take a look at the configuration
- file for the MountDir setting. Publish this directory via your
- favourite fileserver (e.g. samba, webdav, nfs, ftp, ...) and tell your
- users how to reach it.
-
CryptoBox-CD: 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:
- smbmount //IP_OF_CRYPTOBOX/VOLUME_NAME /media/FOO

Recently I partitioned my harddisk. Now I can open the volume without a
- password. Isn't it encrypted anymore?
-
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.

-
How can I restrict access to certain data?
-
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!
-
For the next major release (v0.4) we plan to implement user and access
- management.
-
-
-
There is a user manager available via preferences.
- What is it good for?
-
These administrative users can access restricted parts of the CryptoBox
- (e.g. the plugin manager or the network settings).
-
Users who just want to open and close volumes do not need an
- administrative account.
