Generating a key file

The Encryption Key Manager can be used to generate a new encryption key. If Enterprise Reporter contains credentials with passwords, selecting this option will force the decryption and re-encryption of all Enterprise Reporter user credentials. If the decryption of the existing passwords fails, the procedure is unsuccessful, errors are returned, and no key file is generated. If the decryption and re-encryption is successful, the procedure continues and the new encryption key is written to the secure Windows Credential Manager (not to be confused with the Enterprise Reporter Credential Manager). The user is prompted to export the new key to a backup file.

To generate a key file

Stop all Enterprise Reporter nodes.

Start the Enterprise Reporter Encryption Key Manager.

Click the Generate Key button.

Read and accept the warning.

Click OK to generate a new key file.

Click OK to continue to export the key file to a backup file.

For more information, see Exporting a key file .

Importing a key file

The Encryption Key Manager can be used to import an encryption key from an Enterprise Reporter backup file. This option requires the user-supplied password that was used to create the backup file. If Enterprise Reporter contains credentials with passwords, this procedure will decrypt and re-encrypt all of them and store the imported encryption key in the secure Windows Credential Manager (not to be confused with the Enterprise Reporter Credential Manager).

To import a key file

Stop all Enterprise Reporter nodes.

Start the Enterprise Reporter Encryption Key Manager.

Click the Import Key button.

Enter the fully qualified filename of the backup file.

- OR -

Click the ellipsis to navigate to the Import Location of the backup file.

Enter the user-supplied password for the backup file.

Read and accept the warning.

Click OK to import the backup file.

Click OK to accept the successful import notification.

Exporting a key file

The Encryption Key Manager can be used to export the current encryption key to a backup file encrypted with a user-supplied password.


	IMPORTANT: It is very important to remember this password as it is non-recoverable.

To export a key file

Click the Export Key button.

Enter a fully qualified filename as an export location for the backup file.

- OR -

Click the ellipsis to navigate to an Export Location for the backup file.

Enter a password with a minimum of 10 characters.

Enter the password again to confirm the password.

Click OK to create the backup file.

Click OK to accept the successful backup notification.

Resetting credentials

The Encryption Key Manager can be used to erase all encrypted passwords used by the Enterprise Reporter Credential Manager when it is impossible to restore a valid encryption key. After using this feature, passwords for all credentials must be re-entered using the Enterprise Reporter Credential Manager. The Credential Manager will display a red key icon next to each account that requires a password.


	CAUTION: Use the Reset Credentials option only when it is impossible to restore a valid encryption key.

To reset credentials

Click the Reset Credentials button.

Read and accept the warning.

Click OK to erase all passwords for credentials stored in the Enterprise Reporter Credential Manager.

Click OK to confirm that you wish to erase all passwords.

Click OK to accept the successful reset notification.
