Introducing E-Business Client
Administration
McAfee E-Business Client Administration 7.1.1 has a counterpart: McAfee
E-Business Client 7.1.1. E-Business Client Administration allows you to create
custom, self-extracting packages that your clients use to install E-Business
Client. E-Business Client provides a simple drag and drop interface that
allows each client that you exchange data with to transparently encrypt and
sign sensitive data files, then send them to you by simply selecting the desired
files. In addition, you use E-Business Client Administration in conjunction
with McAfee E-Business Server 7.1.1 to generate keys and decrypt client data.
Use E-Business Client Administration to create custom packages for multiple
client groups. For each client profile, you specify whether or not you want
clients to generate keys or sign data, the file transfer method (e-mail or FTP) to
use, and the corresponding file transfer settings. You can even include your
company logo. After you send each custom package to clients and they
perform the one-click installation, clients select the appropriate profile and the
desired files. E-Business Client automatically encrypts, signs, and sends the
files to you using your predefined key generation and file transfer settings.
