Configuring key store access

To open a transparent database encryption-enabled database, OpenEdge must be able to open the key store. Successfully opening the key store requires that the correct key store passphrase is provided. If OpenEdge cannot open the key store, opening the database fails. You have two configuration choices regarding how the key store passphrase is supplied: manual mode or autostart mode. Manual mode requires that you supply (type in) a key store account passphrase any time your database is opened. Autostart delivers a passphrase you configure to open the key store automatically. Manual mode is more secure, but impacts automated database administration (scripts); Autostart mode does not impact scripts, but gives unfettered access to encrypted data.
