Key Management FAQ
What is Key Management?
Key Management is an application used to create SecureDoc user key files. If your organization is using the SecureDoc Central Database you will not need to use Key Management.
I have SecureDoc, is Key Management installed too?
Yes. Key Management is installed along side of SecureDoc Control Center.
How do I log into Key Management the first time?
Before you can log into Key Management, you have to create a key file. After opening Key Management, you will click on a button "Create key file" on the main screen.
Do all User key files share the same privileges?
No. You can set the privileges for a key file accordingly. This also applies to an Administrative key file.
Can I use Certificates already on my token to protect my key file?
Yes. SecureDoc will work with any existing Certificates already being used throughout your enterprise.
Can I set up a user key file with an expiry date?
Yes. You can set up an expiry date for any user key file. There is also an option to provide the user with warning messages. Once the key file is expired, it can no longer be used.
I have created a new encryption key for my key file, but I can't see it in the SecureDoc Control Center Disk Encryption tab.
The reason could be: You have not updated your key file in the Boot Control. Each time you modify the key file, you must update it in the Boot Control tab.
Follow these steps to update a key file:
- Open up SecureDoc Control Center
- Click on the Boot control tab
- Find the key file in the list, and click it once
- Click the Add/Update key file
- Browse to find the key file and double click it
