Network configuration requirements
Client computers must have network connection with BestCrypt Base Key Server. If Key Server
is configured on Windows computer, be sure that required firewall ports are opened or firewall
is disabled on the server.
Client computers storing encryption keys remotely (i.e. protected on Security Level 3 or 2), must
also be able to establish network communication with the Key Server not only when Windows
is running, but also at boot time, before loading the operating system. The following procedure
helps to check that the client computer satisfies the requirements.
• On the computer with BestCrypt Base Console browse the folder where the software is
installed, for example, it may be C:\Program Files\Jetico\BestCrypt Base folder.
• The
folder
contains
ISO
image
file
of
bootable
CD/DVD:
BESTCRYPT_BASE_BOOT_CHECK.ISO.
• Burn the BESTCRYPT_BASE_BOOT_CHECK.ISO image file to a CD or DVD disk. Burning
ISO images is not just writing file to CD disk, like you save some document files to CD.
Please read in more detail about ISO image files and programs that are able to burn
the files correctly on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image.
• Try to boot the client computer with the test bootable CD. If the boot process is
successfully complete, you will see a command-line message stating it:
Congratulations! BestCrypt Base Client Compatibility Test is passed successfully.
NOTE: Running the test is recommended, but not required. BestCrypt Base Client software
will also run the test automatically, it will just happen after encrypting a client computer.
The process of testing client computers with the bootable CD is recommended only for client
computers that are going to be protected on the highest of Security Levels. For other client
computers the test is not required.
