Adding encryption keys

The system security officer must grant you permission for working with encryption keys.

The Encryption Keys folder is located in the database folder. Use the Encryption Keys folder to add new keys, and alter or delete existing keys on the database.

In the server, click Databases to display a list of available databases.
Select a database.
Click the Encryption Keys folder in the database to display the list of encryption keys for the selected database.
Click Add Encryption Key to start the wizard.

You must know the database system encryption password before you can add an encryption key. Contact the system security officer to set your permissions.

If you have the system security officer role, the Encryption Key wizard starts automatically.
