Creating Privacy Keys

About this task

To create/assign Privacy Keys:

Note: Only one privacy key can be assigned to a group. If multiple privacy keys are required, you must create a group for each key and assign users to the groups as needed.

Procedure

  1. Select a group in the User Groups listbox and click Edit Privacy Key. The following dialog is displayed:
    Figure 1. Privacy key configuration
  2. Select the desired cipher from the dropdown. Click Add New Key to create a new key.
  3. To assign it to the group, select the new key from the dropdown at the top of the dialog.
  4. If you need to use a key ID and key value in the Privacy session agent configuration file, then copy them from the Privacy Key dialog at this time. You can use standard Windows keyboard shortcuts to copy the values from the fields and then paste them into Privacy.cfg.
    • For example, the above key ID and value should be pasted into the [Keys] section in the following format: Key00001=<key_value>.
  5. When finished with the Privacy Key dialog, click OK. For the user group, you should now see Yes in the Privacy session agent Key Assigned? column.
  6. Repeat this process for all groups for which data is encrypted.
  7. When you are finished assigning privacy keys to groups, click OK to commit the changes.
