Create drive whitelist rule

Please do the following:

1. On the General tab, select the USB drive from the list of Installed drives.

   In the figure below, this is the USB drive E:\ with the vendor ID VendorCo.

   

2. On the Permissions tab, specify that you want to allow this USB drive.

   For more information on creating whitelist rules, please refer to the administration guide at DriveLock Online Help.

3. The Encryption tab has nothing selected by default.

   • Check the Require drive to be encrypted option. This ensures that the connected and allowed USB drive must be encrypted before it can be used.

     

     With this option, the access rights may be modified to enable the intended behavior.
     

   • Second, check the Automatically encrypt unencrypted media option to start encryption as soon as a user inserts an unencrypted USB drive and to open a wizard on the DriveLock Agent to guide the user through the encryption process.
   • Encrypt on first write attempt: Unencrypted drives may be read, but the drive must be encrypted before writing.

Save your settings and close the dialog.
