The Encryption Key Manager

Enterprise Reporter makes use of FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption to secure user credentials and includes an encryption key management tool. The Enterprise Reporter Encryption Key Manager can be started from the Windows Start menu. This tool allows you to perform the following tasks related to the Enterprise Reporter encryption key.

•

Generating an encryption key

•

Importing an encryption key from a backup file

•

Exporting an encryption key to a backup file

•

Resetting Enterprise Reporter user credentials

Knowledge Portal

Knowledge Portal is a cross product online reporting platform. Once Knowledge Portal is deployed, you can configure Enterprise Reporter for publishing. Reports can then be published, allowing users to generate reports using a web browser instead of the Report Manager.

For more information, see the Quest Enterprise Reporter Report Manager User Guide in the Technical Documentation.

Enterprise Reporter Architecture

Figure 2 shows how the components of Enterprise Reporter are related.

Summarizing the Workflow

The Enterprise Reporter workflow has three distinct phases:

Table 1. Phases of Enterprise Reporter Workflow
Phase	Console	Description	Frequency
Configuration	Configuration Manager	Set up clusters and nodes	Set up initially Modifications as your environment changes
Data collection	Configuration Manager	Create discoveries	Once for every set of targets
Data collection	Configuration Manager	Execute discoveries	As often as you need to maintain the desired data freshness
Reporting	Report Manager	Generate reports based on collected data	As needed

These phases are not linear. You may run useful reports for a period of time, and then decide that you need to add another node, create a new discovery, or add another managed computer. You can move around between them as needed.
