Configuring SecureSlice algorithm

To begin, follow these steps.

Configuring system wide default SecureSlice algorithm

Configure default Secure Slice Algorithm at system level. Select the default setting to be used when creating new vaults. Existing vaults are not affected by this change.

Procedure

  1. On the Settings tab, navigate to Vaults > SecureSlice Algorithm.
  2. Select one of the options.
  3. Click Update to save the configuration.

Configuring SecureSlice algorithm during vault creation

Procedure

  1. Click Configure tab.
  2. Click Storage Pools in left menu.
  3. Click Create Vault in Vaults sections.
  4. Click checkbox Enable SecureSlice algorithm.
  5. Select one of the options.
  6. Finish vault creation procedure.

Changing SecureSlice algorithm for existing vaults

Procedure

  1. Click Configure tab.
  2. Click Storage Pools in left menu.
  3. Select one of the storage pools or select one of the vaults (if there’s only one storage pool).
  4. Click Change.
  5. Select on the options in dropdown box Enable SecureSlice algorithm. The existing objects in the vault remain encrypted with the original algorithm. New and modified objects are encrypted with the new algorithm. For standard vaults, DMS can be used to move objects to a new vault. In which case, all the objects will be encrypted with the secure slice algorithm specific in the destination vault. For a procedure to re-encrypt objects stored within other vault types, contact IBM Customer Support.
  6. Click Update to save the configuration.

Changing SecureSlice algorithm for templates

Procedure

  1. On the Settings tab, navigate to Vaults > Template Management.
  2. Create new of change existing template for vault of mirror.
  3. Click checkbox Enable SecureSlice algorithm.
  4. Select one of the options.
  5. Finish template creation procedure.
