Changing database keys and encrypting database information

NOTE:

  • To change a database key, you need the key file with the old database key. The key is change and saved in a new key file.

  • It is recommended that you create a backup before encrypting the database information in a database. Then you can restore the previous state if necessary.

  1. Start the Launchpad and log in to the One Identity Manager database.

  2. In the Installation overview pane, select the Encrypt the database and click Run.

    This starts the Crypto Configuration program.

  3. Click Next on the home page.

  4. On the New database connection page, enter the valid connection credentials for the One Identity Manager database.

Tips for working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database

If you encrypt a One Identity Manager database, you must declare the database key to the One Identity Manager Service.

 CAUTION: If the One Identity Manager Service finds a private key in the installation directory on startup, it places the key in the Windows internal key container of its service account and deletes the file from the hard drive. So save the private key at another location in addition to the service install directory.

IMPORTANT:

  • The file with the private key must exist in the server's installation directory on all servers with an active One Identity Manager Service.

  • If you change the One Identity Manager Service user account, you must save the key file in the service’s install directory again.

To declare the database key

  1. Declare the following information in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file. Use the Job Server Editor in the Designer or the Job Service Configuration program to edit the configuration file. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

    Table 17: Configuring the One Identity Manager Service for encryption
    Configuration module Parameters Meaning

    JobServiceDestination

    Encryption method (EncryptionScheme)

    Encryption method used

    JobServiceDestination

    File with private key (PrivateKey)

    Enter the file with the encryption information. The default file is private.key.

    JobServiceDestination

    Private key identifier (PrivateKeyId)

    Identifier of the private key.

    Use this parameter if you work with several private keys, for example, if One Identity Manager Service data must be exchanged between two encrypted One Identity Manager databases.

    If no ID is specified, a search is performed for the private.key file.

    File with the private key.

     

    Private key identifier and path to private key file.

    The ID is expected in the JobServiceDestination in the Private key identifier parameter (PrivateKeyId) The default key has the ID Default.

  2. Save the key file created in the service’s install directory.

  3. Open the service management and restart the One Identity Manager Service.
