Quantum Encryption Key Manager Service and Installation Manual 27

The keystore password is case sensitive, must contain a minimum of 6

characters and a maximum of 24 characters, and can contain any

combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.

Encryption and decryption of tapes will still occur if you forget the

password, but if you want to read encrypted tapes provided by another

organization or company, of if you want to enable other organizations or

companies to read your encrypted tapes, you will need to import and

export keystore information, which you cannot do without the keystore

password.

Logging On to Q-EKM Commands

Q-EKM provides a menu of commands to use.

To log on:

1 Open a command window.

Note: Not all special characters are supported (for example, the “at”

symbol [@] and asterisk [*] are not supported). If you get a

message stating “invalid password,” one of your special

characters may not be supported.

Caution:

REMEMBER THE PASSWORD! If you forget the password,

neither you nor Quantum will be able to recover it. You

will not be able to import or export keys and certificates

or share encrypted tapes.

Note: It is recommended that only one person be logged on to

Q-EKM Commands at one time.
