Configure Export Key Script¶
When exporting the server metadata, the Data Catalog encrypts sensitive data using a fixed export key so every installation is able to import the metadata. This may be useful in general but it could be considered as a security risk in some specific environments.
You can modify the export key used to encrypt sensitive data. Follow these steps:
Stop the Data Catalog.
Change the export key using the script
configure_datacatalog_export_key
, located in the folder<DENODO_HOME>/setup/vdp
Restart the Data Catalog.
From now on, only a Data Catalog with the same export key will be able to import the metadata exported from this installation.
Usage
