DBUtil: RiskMinder Database Tool

During RiskMinder installation, the installer collects the information to connect to the RiskMinder database. After the installation is completed, this information is stored in an encrypted format in a file called securestore.enc. This file stores the following encrypted information that you need to connect to the RiskMinder database:

• Database user name and password (Used by RiskMinder Server to connect to the database.)
• Master key (Used for encrypting the database user name and password that is stored in securestore.enc.)

RiskMinder supports both software and hardware modes to protect the data. The DBUtil tool can be used to perform database operations for both the modes.

If for some reason you need to add a new database user name, password, or DSN or change the master key value any time after installation, then you can use DBUtil to perform these tasks.

This section includes the following topics:

• Using DBUtil Options
• Updating the Master Key

Note: Because the master key is used for encrypting sensitive information, for security reasons, the DBUtil tool does not provide any option to view the key value.
