Crypt-o 3.0 |
|
Crypt-o 3.0 is a major release. This means existing licenses of Crypt-o need to be upgraded for use with Crypt-o 3.x.
If you already own a Crypt-o license and upgrade your existing installation of Crypt-o to version 3.0, you will get a 30 day trial of Crypt-o 3.0 with unrestricted functionality. Also you may wish to install Crypt-o 3.0 on a test server to evaluate the new version. You can register Crypt-o using your existing registration to get full 30 day trial.
Users who already own a Crypt-o license are eligible for upgrade to version 3.x at 50% discount. To purchase an upgrade run the client application of Crypt-o 3.0, log on, select the Help - About... menu and follow the upgrade link in the About window.
Highlights of Crypt-o 3.0
Web interface
The Web interface has been reworked completely. It is essentially a cross-platform Web application now.
New functions:
| • | Records and folders can be copied and moved. |
| • | Files can be attached to records. |
Multi-factor authentication
Crypt-o now supports Multi-factor authentication for user accounts.
The following MFA types are supported:
| • | TOTP - Time-based One-Time Password algorithm; |
| • | HOTP - HMAC-based One-Time Password algorithm; |
| • | Duo Security. |
Permissions
The object permissions system has been vastly improved.
| • | You can switch object permissions to the Advanced model. It allows permissions to be separately applied to: This folder only, Child folders, Child records. |
| • | Object permissions can be adjusted without turning off inheritance. |
| • | Object owners can select a user account to view its effective permissions for the object. |
| • | New system permissions: User management and Access via API. |
| • | It is prohibited to set Deny for the "Administrator" and "Database Owner" permissions. It will eliminate accidental loss of access to whole Crypt-o or individual databases. |
Group accounts
There are also improvements to group accounts.
| • | New account type Organizational unit can be used to arrange user accounts as a tree. |
| • | Group accounts can be added to other groups as members. |
Crypt-o API
It is possible to use Crypt-o COM API to access and manipulate Crypt-o data via scripting.
Crypt-o COM API is language independent. Use your preferred scripting language and engine (JavaScript, PowerShell, VBScript, etc) to access the API.
Other improvements
| • | Option to search for folders. |
| • | Option to turn off display of reminders at log on. |
| • | PNG images can be used as custom icons. |
| • | Changed global hot keys for form filling/saving, password generation and activation of Crypt-o. Old hot keys interfere with Windows 10 system hot keys. |
| • | Crypt-o Server 3.0 can also accept connections from Crypt-o Clients of version 2.5.x. |
Upgrade
Crypt-o 3.0 makes upgrades of an existing Crypt-o 2.5 installation easier than before. Crypt-o Server 3.0 can accept connections from Crypt-o Clients of version 2.5.x. It means you can upgrade Crypt-o Server to version 3.0 and existing Crypt-o 2.5 Clients will still work with the new Server. Then gradually upgrade all Clients to version 3.0.
See the Upgrade topic for details about upgrading.
