EFS

[Guest]

Hi,

I've tested enable EFS on a test file and it works. My question is when I
change my password then I'm unable to access the test file anymore. Is this
practical especially in a environment with password expiry policy? And is
this mean that I've to import the cert/private key every time I change my
password?


Thanks!

It should work as long as you change your password instead of resetting it
via an administrator account. You change your password when prompted by the
operating system because it expired or you use control-alt-delete to change
it and are required to enter your password first.

Hi Steven,

You're right! Previously I tested with resetting password. Now tested with
changing password is working fine.

Thanks.
