Defender 5.11 - Administration Guide

Viewing a list of scheduled reports

You can view a list of all reports scheduled for generation. The list provides details for each scheduled report, such as report name, description, recurrence, and time of next run. Optionally, you can immediately generate any scheduled report in the list without waiting for its next generation time.

To use Defender reports, the user account with which you sign in to the Defender Management Portal must have an appropriate portal role assigned. For more information, see Portal roles.

Managing portal database

The Defender Management Portal database is stored in a file named SelfReg.sdf, held in the folder “%ProgramFiles%\One Identity\Defender\Management Portal\WWW\App_Data” on the computer running the Defender Management Portal. This section covers the following database management tasks:

• Encrypting database
• Changing password for encrypted database
• Decrypting database

Encrypting database

By default, the Defender Management Portal database is not encrypted. However, as this database contains a service account password used by the Defender Management Portal, you may want to encrypt the database.

To encrypt the database

1. In IIS Manager, stop the Defender Web Interface site.
2. On the Defender Management Portal computer, run DBEncrypt.exe located in the folder %ProgramFiles%\One Identity\Defender\Management Portal\Tools, and complete the dialog box that appears:
   1. Select the Encrypt Database check box.
   2. In the New Password and Confirm New Password boxes, type the password with which you want to encrypt the database.
   3. Click Apply, and then close the dialog box.
3. In the Web.config file, update the database connection string with the new password:
   1. In a text editor, open the Web.config file located in the folder %ProgramFiles%\One Identity\Defender\Management Portal\WWW
   2. In the Web.config file, locate the <connectionStrings> element, and modify the SelfReg.sdf connection string within that element to include the new password. Example:

      connectionString="data source=|DataDirectory|\SelfReg.sdf;Max Database Size=4091;password=NewDatabasePassword"

      where NewDatabasePassword is the password you have set in Step 2 of this procedure.

   3. Save and close the Web.config file.
4. Use the aspnet_regiis.exe tool to encrypt the database connection string in the Web.config file, so that the password is not displayed as plain text. You can find aspnet_regiis.exe in one of these folders:
   • On an x86 system - %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
   • On an x64 system - %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

   Sample command to encrypt the database connection string on an x86 system:

   %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" "%ProgramFiles%\One Identity\Defender\Management Portal\WWW" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"

5. In IIS Manager, start the Defender Web Interface site.
