DAC Encryption key Change

Today we will discuss how to create a new Encryption key for DAC repository. Sometime we used to get an error while trying to start/stop the DAC server. Error description will be like  “Encryption key in authentication file doesn't match the repository. Please use the correct authentication file to connect.”

 To change the DAC encryption key

1.       In the DAC Client, on the Tools menu, select DAC Repository Management, and then select Change Encryption Key.

 

2.       Click Generate Random Encryption Key to generate an encryption key. The key is displayed in the Key field. Alternatively, you can enter a key in the Key field. The key must be at least 24 characters long.

 

3.       Distribute the updated authentication file (cwallet.sso) to all users that connect to this repository.

 

Enjoy & Stay Well !! :)
