Configuring the encryption key settings
Encryption keys are used for creating DS-Client Customer Registration Information (CRI) files or running system validation on backed up files. DS-Client encryption keys are stored in the DS-System database in encrypted format.
NOTE: If you enable DS-Client encryption key management in the DS-System, the customer must also configure the encryption keys on the DS-Client. For more information, see the DS-Client User Guide.
To configure the encryption key settings:
1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration.
2. Click the Encryption Keys tab.
3. To enable DS-Client encryption key management, select the Enable DS-Client Encryption Key Management check box.
4. To require all DS-Clients to use encryption key management on the first connection, select the Mandatory Encryption Key Management check box.
NOTE: No activities will be allowed until the encryption keys are enabled on the DS-Client.
5. To require the DS-System to send a copy of the encryption keys to the BLM Archiver for the validation of archive packages, select the Forward DS-Client Encryption Keys to BLM Archiver check box.
6. To clear all DS-Client encryption keys from the DS-System database, select the Clear All Existing DS-Client Encryption Keys check box.
7. Click OK.
