Set a Shared Secret for the Voltage SecureMail Server

When the policy engine receives a copy of the encrypted email, it sends the email plus a shared secret to the Voltage SecureMail server.

The shared secret (in effect, a password) authenticates the policy engine to the Voltage SecureMail server. It also enables the policy engine to establish a secure connection with the Voltage SecureMail server.

In return, the Voltage SecureMail server provides the policy engine with an unencrypted version of the email.

CA DataMinder provides a command line utility, wgncred.exe, to set account credentials for various components. In this case, you must use it to securely store the shared secret that the policy engine uses to access the Voltage SecureMail server.

Wgncred.exe is installed when you install a policy engine. Find wgncred.exe in the \System subfolder of the CA DataMinder installation folder.

You must run wgncred.exe on each policy engine host server.
