Office 365 Email Encryption OME
Chris_Mancini Hello, even though it has been around for years there has been a stalemate in our org. due to legal technicalities (such as the key). This has progressed lately and now I'm involved in a pre-study as how OME actually behaves when using the "encrypt-only" template with and without attachments that are being replied to, as well as forwarded to internal/external individuals as second, third and forth recipient. One might think this should be pretty straightforward (and it is when only the sender and the initial recipients is involved to answer your question) but it's getting a bit complex when adding the others. This is not a common scenario and the unit in need of the encryption has a flow that is difficult to explain. So we'll see if they can use OME or if we need to look at another solution.
In short. OME is great and easy to use for all users in an org. but if you're looking at it from a "encryption point of view" you could say it's not "asymmetric" but rather a "symmetric" solution which is much easier to manage and use.
ChristianBergstrom Gotcha, we have taken a look at our settings and can't figure out what is causing our original issue. If you or someone else has any further input it would be great. Thanks for your help

Chris_Mancini I have to ask what settings have you looked at? Should be something with the cookies/session as it only works when checking the box to be remembered.

ChristianBergstrom So we did some further testing with home computers that aren't connected to our organization and had the same failure...these were Windows machines. So I am at a loss unless there are other ideas floating out there.
