Data Collector Encryption
For new data collectors, asymmetric encryption requires some initial setup. When you add a data collector in the Portal, you download the key and then point to that location when you install the data collector software on the collector server.
For existing data collectors, key generation for asymmetric encryption can occur at any time. Users can opt-in to encrypt/decrypt credentials.
For a new installation, the encryption key must first be generated in the Portal. Next, the key file location must be entered as part of the data collector installation process.
To activate encryption for new data collectors
- Navigate to Admin>Data Collection>Collector Administration.
- Click Add Collector.
- Click Generate Key.
- Click OK to proceed and download the key file to your local system.
- Copy the <collectorid>.key file to a temporary location. You will be prompted for this location during the data collector installation.
- Install the data collector software on the data collector server.
In an upgrade scenario, you can change the encryption method to asymmetric and add the extra layer of security to active data collector policies.
To activate encryption for existing data collectors
- Stop the Data Collector.
- In the Portal, search for Collector by name. Search returns results at the folder level and within the folder.
Alternatively, select Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration to browse for a collector. A list of currently configured Portal Data Collectors is displayed.
- Select a Data Collector from the list.
- Click Edit.
- Click Generate Key.
Note:
When generating a replacement key, for example a key is lost or data has been corrupted the following applies: active policies associated with the collector are disabled and their credentials are invalidated. For each policy associated with the collector, you must re-enter all credentials and re-enable the policy
- Click OK to proceed and download the key file to your local system.
- Copy the <collectorid>.key file to a temporary location on the collector server.
- Copy the <collectorid>.key file to <APTARE_HOME>/mbs/conf/ on the data collector server.
- Execute reinstallkey.bat/sh present under <APTARE_HOME>/mbs/bin.
