Security Settings

These settings control when CA DataMinder uses encryption. They apply to records in the local database and data transfers across the network.

Encrypt Stored Data

If required, you can encrypt records in the local database.

On client machines, this applies only to policy data. You cannot encrypt captured data such as e-mails or Web pages.

On the CMS, all database records are encrypted. These include user and machine account and policy details for each user and machine, plus all captured events.

Encryption Key Thresholds (Volume and Interval)

You can specify the thresholds (the volume of encrypted data or an elapsed time period) that trigger an automatic change to the encryption key.

Communications Encryption

You can specify varying levels of encryption when CA DataMinder machines send data across the network.

Cache CMS Credentials

If these are set to cache, you can skip the console logon dialog providing you have already successfully logged on to the CMS during the current session.
