Security - Create Encryption Keys

Only the Administrator of the WorkflowCentre Account can create Encryption Keys. Therefore, once your office decides to use encryption, the Administrator should create an original Encryption Key, make a copy of that key for authorized individuals in the office, and distribute the key to appropriate office personnel. You can use either a USB key, which you can find at any office supply store, or a floppy disk.

To create an Encryption Key:

• Insert a blank USB storage key (or floppy disk) into the USB port on your computer.
• From within the ContactManager skillset, click the ContactManager pull-down menu.
• Select Create PortalsXpress Key.
• Complete the fields in the Create PortalsXpress Key dialog.
• Click the Print button. Store the hard-copy of the PortalsXpress Original Encryption Key "answers" in a safe place in case you lose the original key. You will need those same answers if you need to recreate the Original Encryption Key. Note: We strongly recommend that you keep the PortalsXpress Original Encryption Key "answers" in a secure location in case you need to rekey the Original Encryption Key.
• Click OK to save the key. The original key will be stored on the USB key or floppy disk.
