Notes about Yubikey support:
– To use Yubikey as a security token for Mac, install Rohos Logon > open Prefecences and choose “Yubikey” in the drop-down list.
– For a while Rohos Logon doesn’t verify OTP. See this notes. But we are already working on this solution.
– For the YubiKey we do recommend to clear ”Activate password protected screensaver upon USB key removal…” option in preferences.

/in , /by

Rohos Disk Encryption has a few command line options, so that the encrypted disk can be connected and disconnected by using shortcuts or a BAT file.

agent.exe "c:\My Documents\rdisk.rdi" /letter:Z: /log

or

agent.exe \_rohos\rdisk.rdi

Request a password to connect Rohos disk rdisk.rdi.

/letter:Z: – the drive letter it will be connected (optional)
/log – allows creating a log file (agent.log) when performing the operation. Only when the disk is mounted from a USB drive.
