Smartcrypt is a small software application running on user’s desktop machines, that performs actions based on instructions it receives from the Smartcrypt Enterprise Manager (SEM) configured by the IT administrative department in your organization.
The Smartcrypt application will automatically attempt to connect to the SEM whenever the desktop system is running. It uses your Windows system username/password to authenticate and establish a connection to the SEM.
HINT: If the Smartcrypt application can’t connect, or if your Windows system password has recently changed, you may be prompted to enter your new Windows username/password for Smartcrypt to recognize the change.
