hcismatcrypt

The SMAT database encryption key (SMATDB key), can be customized. This key is stored in siteInfo in the format smatdbkey=XXX.

It can be customized/modified when creating a site or changing the SMATDB key from the GUI. The hcismatcrypt tool is provided to validate/change the encryption key of a SMAT DB file.

Generally, all encrypted SMATDB files under a site share the same smatdbkey in siteInfo. If one SMAT database file does not have the same SMATDB key, then the GUI requires specifying the correct key when searching it. Otherwise, it is ignored when changing the SMATDB key.
