Starting the Encryption Key Manager

1
Click Programs | Quest | Enterprise Reporter | Encryption Key Manager.

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.

Click the Generate Key button.
5
Click OK to generate a new key file.
6
Click OK to continue to export the key file to a backup 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).
