Encrypt user data

Enable user data encryption to secure the information stored on the Fiery server hard disk, consistent with the AES256 standard. You define a passphrase, which will be used to recover the data in the case of hardware replacement or service.

When User Data Encryption is enabled, user configuration, user jobs, logs, and local backup images are encrypted. Any data that comes out of the Fiery server is not encrypted. For example, if users export jobs or backup files to a network location, that data will not be encrypted, even if User Data Encryption is enabled.

You must use the passphrase in these scenarios:

Physically moving the hard disk drive from the Fiery server to another Fiery server
Replacing hardware
Changing the passphrase

When you are required to enter the passphrase, the Fiery server cannot accept jobs or otherwise be accessed, except from the passphrase recovery page. When you do enter the passphrase, you can make a maximum of five attempts.

If decryption is in progress, encryption cannot be re-enabled immediately. When decryption has completed, the encryption option will be available.

From Configure, choose Security > User Data Encryption.
Select Enable User Data Encryption.
Enter a passphrase in each of the text fields.
Keep the passphrase in a secure location. If you forget the passphrase, you will not be able to recover anything. The passphrase is not the same as the Fiery Administrator password.

If user data encryption was already enabled, you can change the passphrase by clicking the Change Passphrase link.
Click Save.
