Security Platform Features

With this page you can configure Security Platform Features for all users, e.g. backup.

This wizard page is not available in server mode as Trusted Computing Management Server handles the task of configuring the Security Platform features, i.e. Backup, Password Reset and Enhanced Authentication. The feature BitLocker can be configured via Microsoft Control Panel Applet.

The following table explains all Security Platform Features.

Feature Explanation
Automatic Backup (includes Emergency Recovery) Check this feature, if you want to configure automatic Security Platform backups.
Configuring Backup is strongly recommended. Otherwise all user data will be lost in case of emergency.

Note that you cannot uncheck this feature, if the policy Enforce configuration of Backup including Emergency Recovery is enabled.

Password Reset Check this feature, if you want to create a Password Reset Token for all users.
Configuring Password Reset is strongly recommended. Otherwise Basic User Passwords can not be reset.

Note that you cannot uncheck this feature, if the policy Enforce configuration of Password Reset is enabled.
This feature can be configured only once. The selection is disabled, if Password Reset has already been configured.
BitLocker Check this feature, if you want to use BitLocker Drive Encryption together with the Trusted Platform Module to encrypt data on your disk.

This feature is only available if the Operating System supports BitLocker Drive Encryption (e.g. for Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista).
Enhanced Authentication Check this feature, if you want to enable Enhanced Authentication for all users or if you want to change the selection of authentication devices.

Note that this feature is only available, if at least one Enhanced Authentication plug-in is installed. This feature is not available, if the Security Platform was not initialized before wizard start.

Dictionary Attack Defense Check this feature, if you want to configure how many authentication attempts should be allowed for various authentication types before dictionary attack defense measures are taken. See Configure Dictionary Attack Defense Settings.

Note that this feature is only available on Security Platforms with a Infineon Trusted Platform Module 1.2, if the policy Configure dictionary attack threshold is not configured. This feature is not available, if the Security Platform was not initialized before wizard start.
