Enrolling Additional PGP Users on COMIS Computers

The information below pertains to computers running the COMIS baseline. If you are using PGP on a LCOM computer that does not have the COMIS baseline on it then the information on the UVM web page pertains to you. That web page can be found at https://www.uvm.edu/it/security/pgp.

Enrolling additional PGP users with COMIS accounts and matching NetIDs:

Do not enroll the users from the PGP Desktop interface. This will break the Single Sign-On for that user.

  1. Have the current PGP user log onto the computer.
  2. Log off.
  3. Have the new PGP user log on with their COMIS username and password.
  4. Use their NetID password to enroll in the PGP enrollment box.
  5. Reboot the computer and log into the PGP screen with NetID password.
  6. Reboot again and log into the PGP screen with COMIS password.

Enrolling additional PGP users with COMIS account and no NetID:

  1. Open the PGP Desktop interface.
  2. Click on the C: drive.
  3. Click the "New Passphrase User..." button.
  4. Use COMIS username and password for these fields and enter MED into the domain field.

This user can now log into the PGP login screen at boot with their COMIS password. They will be presented with the PGP Enrollment screen each time they log in. This screen should be ignored and cancelled.

Enrolling local users:

  1. Open the PGP Desktop interface.
  2. Click on the C: drive.
  3. Click the "New Passphrase User..." button.
  4. Use local username and password for these fields and enter the computer name into the domain field.

This user can now log into the PGP login screen at boot with their COMIS password. They will be presented with the PGP Enrollment screen each time they log in. This screen should be ignored and cancelled.
