Customer Registration Info | |
Browse | An alternative to manually entering this information is to use a .CRI file supplied by your service provider. • Click Browse to search for this file on your network. |
Customer Name | Enter a descriptive name for the DS-Client. • This name appears in brackets after the computer name in the list of available DS-Client computers (when sorted by Name). |
Account # | Enter your Account number. This number is provided to you by your service provider. |
DS-Client # | Enter your DS-Client number. This number is provided to you by your service provider. |
DS-System Info | |
Address | Enter an IP address or DNS name for the DS-System your DS-Client will be using. • Multiple addresses can be entered, separated by a semi-colon (;). |
Add | Click to add the address(es) in the Address box to the connection list. |
Remove | Click to remove the highlighted address from the connection list. |
Encryption Keys • An encryption key is case sensitive. Its length (in characters) depends on the type and level of encryption selected. DES requires 8 characters, AES-128 requires 16 characters, AES-192 requires 24 characters, and AES-256 requires 32 characters. For better security, do not use dictionary words or proper names. Try to mix numbers with letters randomly. • Auto-complete feature: If you do not specify the full amount of characters in the Key box, DS-User will fill in the remainder by repeating the string of characters you have entered. (e.g. entering “123” with AES-128 will generate an encryption key of “1231231231231231”, or entering “a” for DES will generate the encryption key “aaaaaaaa”). • Keep the key(s) in a secure location. Your ability to select the same encryption type and re-enter the same key is necessary if you ever need to reinstall your DS‑Client to a new computer (e.g. if the computer is destroyed in a disaster). | |
Private Key | You must set a private key for the DS-Client. Backup data from your DS-Client installation will be encrypted with this key. • Type: Select from the available types. Stronger encryption requires longer keys. • Key: Enter the key. • Confirm: Re-enter the key to verify the string is correct. You cannot change this key once it is set. |
Account Key | You must set an account key if more than one DS-Client belongs to your customer account. Common backup data from all your DS-Client installations will be encrypted with this key. Once the account key is set, all DS-Clients from this customer must be configured with that same account key. • Type: Select from the available types. Stronger encryption requires longer keys. • Key: Enter the key. • Confirm: Re-enter the key to verify the string is correct. You cannot change this key once it is set. |
Allow encryption key forwarding to DS-System • Select to have DS-Client forward the encryption key(s) to the DS-System the first time it connects with DS-System. NOTE: If you forward the keys, they will remain encrypted on the DS-System. However, your service provider will be able to create a valid .CRI file containing the encrypted keys. This file will be able to recreate a working version of the DS-Client. Make sure this conforms to your security policies before enabling this option. | |
