Bitlocker encryption

Hello everyone.

I would like to know if:

  1. EV works with Bitlocker encryption (Windows 2008 builtin component)?
  2. If YES: any documentation?

 

Thank you all,

Mariano.-

  • FYI I spoke to the Certification Manager..  It's not been tested.

     

    My advice would be to not use it - if you use it, and problems happen, you'd be out on a bit of a limb from a Support point of view.

  • I am not sure if it would have been tested (I've sent an email to check) but in theory an application wouldn't know about the encryption, right?  So it *should* work.

     

    Out of interest, what are you trying to encrypt?

  • Hi

    Can you further describe on what you want to do?

    Do you want to archive a fileserver which has BitLocker encryption?

    Do you want the EV Server to be BitLocker encrypted?

    Do you want to encrypt user's desktops and worry about Vault Cache / Outlook Add-In behavior?

     

    Cheers

  • More information: A customer asked me if the DVS files are encrypted, and if EV was supposed to work with Bitlocker enabled.

  • I don't think this has been tested, but in theory this should work as BitLocker is transparent to EV when writing the DVS files.

  • Hi Mariano,

    Your best bet for a question like this would be to use the internal Symantec forums.

     

    This is a public peer to peer forum and while there are Symantec employees's on here it isn't the place to get an official answer for something like this.
