VIPRE SafeSend will now allow admins to configure Notify/Confirm/Deny dialog boxes when a non-password protected attachment, or a non-encrypted attachment, is present. 

Enable Unencrypted Attachment Notification

  1. Open the file settings.json by right-clicking on the file to open it with Notepad or any other desired text/code editor
  2. Look for // "UnprotectedAttachmentsMode"
    • Set this to 0 to ignore, 1 to notify, 2 to confirm, or to deny sending when the email has attachments that are not encrypted
  3. Uncomment by removing the // at the beginning of the line
Example: "UnprotectedAttachmentsMode": 2,

Optional - Customize Notification Text

To customize the text shown in the unencrypted attachment dialog boxes:

  1. Navigate to the Localization.xlsx file within the SafeSend Web Add-in site folder and open it in Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application that supports .xlsx file extensions
  2. If the Protected View warning shows at the top, click Enable Editing
  3. Look for the following strings and edit as necessary:
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentConfirm"
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentDeny"
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentNotify"
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentsConfirm"
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentsDeny"
"SS_StringNotEncryptedAttachmentsNotify"
