Note:<br />

1. The <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> API has an alternate way of specifying<br />

encryptkey=generate; the previous enableclientencryptkey=yes option can also<br />

be specified to request generate encryption processing.<br />

2. The enableclientencryptkey=yes API option is still supported, so it is possible<br />

when using the API to specify two conflicting options. For example,<br />

enableclientencryptkey=yes and encryptkey=prompt or encryptkey=save.<br />

3. When conflicting values are specified, the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> API returns<br />

an error message.<br />

Attention: When using the prompt option, your encryption key is not saved in<br />

the <strong>Windows</strong> Registry. If you <strong>for</strong>get the key, your data cannot be recovered.<br />

Supported <strong>Clients</strong><br />

This option is valid <strong>for</strong> all clients. The server can also define this option.<br />

Options File<br />

Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the<br />

Authorization tab, Encryption Key Password section of the Preferences editor.<br />

Syntax<br />

ENCRYPTKey<br />

save<br />

prompt<br />

generate<br />

►◄<br />

Parameters<br />

save<br />

The encryption key password is saved in the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> client's<br />

password file. A prompt is issued <strong>for</strong> an initial encryption key password, and<br />

after the initial prompt, the saved encryption key password in the password<br />

file is used <strong>for</strong> the backups and archives of files matching the include.encrypt<br />

specification. The password can be up to 63 bytes in length. The key is<br />

retrieved from the password file on restore and retrieve operations.<br />

When the save option is specified <strong>for</strong> an API application, the initial key<br />

password must be provided by the application using the API in the dsmInitEx<br />

function call. The API itself does not issue a prompt to the user but relies on<br />

the application to prompt the user as necessary.<br />

This is the default.<br />

Restrictions:<br />

v This option can only be used when passwordaccess generate is also specified.<br />

v<br />

The root user or a <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> authorized user must specify the<br />

initial encryption key password.<br />
