Set up and Use the Master Keys and Encryption Keys

You can set the master keys and encryption keys using the Key Management tab in the Configuration page of the Administration Server.

Using Master Keys

If you want to encrypt your data, then create a Master Key by clicking the + sign in the Master Key section. The master key is generated automatically.

You can change the status of the key to Available or Unavailable, by clicking the edit icon in the Master Key table. You can also delete the Master Key from the table by clicking the delete icon.

For details on the Master Key concept, see Encrypting Data with the Master Key and Wallet Method. .

Using the Encryption Keys

To use this method of data encryption, you configure Oracle GoldenGate to generate an encryption key and store the key in a local ENCKEYS file. The ENCKEYS file must be secured through the normal method of assigning file permissions in the operating system. This procedure generates an AES encryption key and provides instructions for storing it in the ENCKEYS file.

To generate the ENCKEYS files, click the + sign in the Encryption Keys section. The Encryption Keys is generated.
