Introduction [Back to top]

This document covers the DataTraveler®Vault Privacy – Managed device (referred to simply as DTVP-

M from this point forward) based on the default factory settings with no customizations.

The instructions and procedural steps in this help document were created based on the default ‘out-of-

box’ settings configured in the SafeConsole Management Server.

Policies implemented in SafeConsole are “pushed” out to the DTVP-M device during initialization and

reflect in the menu options available (or unavailable) in the client interface of the DTVP-M. To ensure

the desired user experience and proper deployment of the device, please consult your helpdesk and/or

SafeConsole administrator prior to use.

Recommendations [Back to top]

To ensure there is ample power provided to the DTVP-M device, use only in USB ports connected

directly to your notebook or desktop, as seen in Figure 1.1. Avoid connecting the DTVP-M to any

peripheral device(s) that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB hub, as in Figure 1.2.

Initialization

After plugging the DTVP-M device into a USB port,

if you receive the following warning message,

“Kingston DataTraveler requires an active

SafeConsole server to make it operational” (see

Figure 1.3), please contact your helpdesk or

SafeConsole Administrator.

The DTVP-M must be able to communicate with a

SafeConsole server in order to initialize prior to first

use and/or function properly after a device reset.

[Back to top]

Figure 1.3 – Warning Message

If you receive a connection window similar to the

one in Figure 1.4, ‘Connecting to <server>’, click

‘Yes’ to confirm ownership and responsibility for the

Kingston DataTraveler (DTVP-M.) This will register

your device on the SafeConsole server.

If you click ‘No’, you will receive the warning

message seen in Figure 1.3 and be required to

start the initialization process over. This can be

accomplished by doing one of the following:

Figure 1.4 – Confirm Registration

•Unplugging the DTVP-M device from your system and re-inserting it into the USB

port. (This will allow Windows to detect the device again and allow you restart the

initialization process.)

OR [Back to top]

•Browsing to the CD-ROM partition of the DTVP-M and re-launching the

DTVPM_Launcher.exe program application.

The window shown in Figure 1.5 will appear after

you click ‘Yes’ to register the DTVP-M on the

SafeConsole Management System. This indicates

that communication with the server has been

established.

Figure 1.5 – Connection Confirmed

DTVP-M Help DataTraveler®Vault – Privacy Managed Page 2 of 6

Once a connection to the server is confirmed, you will be

asked to create a password that will be used to unlock the

secure data partition each time you log into the DTVP-M.

1. Once you’ve decided on a password, enter it into

the ‘Select password’ field, and re-enter it in the

‘Confirm password’ field, as seen in Figure 1.6.

The password you create must meet the following

criteria before the initialization process will allow

you to continue:

•Passwords must contain at least 8

characters (default SafeConsole setting) or

more (up to 64 characters)

•Passwords must also contain all three of

the following default criteria options:

UPPER CASE (A-Z), lower case (a-z), &

numeric (0-9) characters

Figure 1.6 – Create Password

You may also enter a password hint, but it is not mandatory. However, the hint field can be useful in

providing you a clue as to what the password is, should you ever forget your DTVP-M password.

(Note: The password hint CANNOT match or contain the exact password string.) [Back to top]

2. Click the checkbox to acknowledge your reading

and understanding of the warranty.

3. Click on the arrow button ( ) to continue.

4. When prompted, enter your DTVP-M password

into the textbox (seen in Figure 1.7) and click on

the arrow button to continue. (Note: The arrow

button will enable as soon as you enter the first

password character into the textbox.)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST complete step 4 by

entering your DTVP-M password (created in step 1) in

order to complete the initialization process successfully.)

Figure 1.7 – Enter Password

This completes the initialization process and unlocks the secure data partition.

DTVP-M Login [Back to top]

You must supply your DTVP-M password each time you wish to log into the device. During the login

process, if an incorrect password is entered, you will be given another opportunity to enter the correct

password; however, there is a built-in security feature that tracks the number of failed login attempts. If

this number reaches the pre-configured value of 10 failed attempts, the DTVP-M will lock and require a

device reset of the secure data partition prior to next use. This means that all data stored on the DTVP-

M will be lost. See Device Lockout on page 4.

Device Lockout [Back to top]

The DTVP-M includes a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the data partition once a

maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts (MaxNoA for short) has been made; the default

“out-of-box” configuration has a pre-configured value of 10 (no. of attempts.)

The ‘lock-out’ counter tracks each failed login and gets reset one of two ways: 1) A successful login

prior to reaching MaxNoA or 2) reaching MaxNoA and resetting the device.

If an incorrect password is entered, an error message will appear

just below the text box, indicating an invalid password. See

Figure 1.8.

With each failed login attempt, you will see a different error

message indicating the number of attempts left before reaching

MaxNoA (which is set to 10 by default.)

After the 10th failed login attempt, the DTVP-M will permanently

lock the data partition and require a device reset prior to next use.

This means that all data stored on the DTVP-M will be lost and

you will need to create a new password.

Figure 1.8 – Login Failure

This security measure limits someone who does not have your

password from attempting countless login attempts and gaining

access to your protected data.

If you are the owner of the DTVP-M and have forgotten your

password, the same security measures will be enforced, including

a device reset.

(Note: If ‘Remote Password Reset’ is enabled on the SafeConsole

Management Server, the SafeConsole administrator will be able to

reset your password without resetting the device, thus saving the

data stored on the protected partition.*)

Figure 1.9 – MaxNoA Reached

[Back to top]

*Even with ‘Remote Password Reset’ enabled, the maximum number of incorrect login

attempts, including response codes, is 10. If not using the ‘Forgot Password’ option, the

response code window will automatically invoke after the 7th failed login attempt.

DTVP-M Help DataTraveler®Vault – Privacy Managed Page 4 of 6

Forgot Password [Back to top]

The ‘Remote Password Reset’ is a feature in SafeConsole that allows DTVP-M users to change/create

passwords without resetting the device, thus saving all data stored on the DTVP-M. The ‘Forgot

Password’ menu option is available on the DTVP-M ONLY when ‘Remote Password Reset’ is enabled

on the SafeConsole Management Server (consult your helpdesk or administrator for details.)

(Note: Remote Password Reset needs to be enabled on the SafeConsole Management

Server PRIOR to initializing the DTVP-M device. By default, this feature is disabled. In either

case, the pre-configured value for maximum number of password attempts {MaxNoA} is 10.)

Change Password [Back to top]

This feature allows you to change your current DTVP-M password. You MUST know the existing

password to utilize this function, as it will lock the device and prompt you for the existing DTVP-M

password prior to invoking the ‘Change Password’ routine.

Reset Option [Back to top]

This feature resets the DTVP-M back to its original “out-of-box” state. Resetting the device will erase

all of the data stored in the protected area and require users to generate a new password.

(Note: The DTVP-M must register with SafeConsole each time the device is reset. Do NOT

use this function if you are on a stand-alone workstation or in a remote location that does not

have access to the SafeConsole server. Consult your administrator before resetting DTVP-M.

About DTVP-M [Back to top]

This option provides basic information regarding the DTVP-M, including copyright, build number and

serial number of the device. The ‘About’ section is also customizable (by your Administrator) in

SafeConsole under the ‘Device User Information’ tab of Administrator Tools (up to 127 characters.)

Drive Letter Conflict [Back to top]

The DTVP-M requires two consecutive drive letters AFTER the last physical disk that appears before

the ‘gap’ in drive letter assignments. This does NOT pertain to network shares because they are

specific to user-profiles and not the system hardware profile itself, thus appearing available to the OS.

What this means is, Windows may assign the DTVP-M a drive letter that’s already in use by a network

share or Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, causing a drive letter conflict. If this happens,

please consult your administrator or helpdesk department on changing drive letter assignments in

Windows Disk Management (administrator privileges required.)

Figure 1.12 – Drive Letter Assignment

If there are no network shares on your system and the DTVP-M still won’t load, it is possible that a card

reader, removable disk, or other previously-installed device is holding on to a drive-letter assignment

and still causing a conflict.

Please note that native Drive Letter Management has improved significantly in Windows XP SP3, Vista,

and 7, so you may not come across this issue, but if you are unable to resolve the conflict, please

contact Kingston’s Technical Support Department for further assistance. [Back to top]
