Configuring LOCAL Keystore Encryption (BUI)

To configure encryption using the LOCAL keystore, first set up the master passphrase and then create keys for assigning to encrypted shares. For information about encryption properties, see Encryption Properties.

To create a key, you provide the name to be used for assigning the key to projects or shares. You can choose to let the system generate the key value or you can supply a hex-encoded raw 256-bit key. Keys are stored in an encrypted form.

1. To configure the LOCAL keystore, go to the Shares > Encryption BUI page.
2. Click Local.

   The LOCAL key store information is displayed.

   
   
3. To configure the master passphrase, type the passphrase supplied by your administrator and then retype it in the next box.
4. To save the master passphrase, click Apply or to discard your changes click Revert.
5. To create a key, click the Add item icon .

   The New Key dialog box is displayed.

   
   
6. Type a name for the key.
7. To use a hex-encoded raw 256-bit key, uncheck "Generate key automatically" and type the key.
8. To save the key, click Add, or to discard the changes click Cancel.

   When you click Add, the new key appears in the list of keys with the creation date.
