Setting up Operating System File Security

The key file should be secured and protected by your operating system with the appropriate file access permissions on all platforms. The recommended file access permissions are:

• File ‘read’ access for only the administrators that need to run the PSCipher command-line utility to encrypt text.

• File ‘read’ access for the only the administrators that need to start the application servers and web servers.

• File ‘write’ access for only the administrators that need to run PSCipher –buildkey to create a new PSCipher key.
