SMAT database encryption key customization
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 smatdbkey
, then the GUI requires specifying the correct
key when searching it.
See Security server Encryption tab.
