Greetings!
We are implementing a new policy for sending e-mails inside the organization.
The idea is that some of the users would start sending encrypted or digitally signed messages thru Outlook 2010 client.
I am familiar with the procedure how to enable this option for a user, but pretty much confused how to maintain this whole process in the future.
Where do I see problem?
This is our scenario:
Every person in the company has a smart card with a certificate.
Currently we have about 20 users which need this feature enabled.
-We had to go physically to each user and manually set up their certificate being used for encryption and digitally signing.
-Then we needed to add 19 people to outlook contact list to each user. And add public key of the certificate of each user.
The idea just to export OUTLOOK contacts list with public keys I guess is not available?
So the problem I see in the future will be adding another user to those 20 people. Then we will need to MANUALLY add his contact card to all the other users in Outlook contact list, and then add his public key of the certificate, etc, etc.
Not to mention even what will happen when one of those 20 users certificate will expire in the future, then we will need to remove his previous certificate on all the Outlook contacts lists, and add the new certificate.
Soo I’m asking you IT PROS is there any automatic maintain approach to solve this "challenge"?
With best regards,
