Managing Job Encryption for InfoPrint Manager for AIX

To prevent data from being accessed, modified, or stolen, InfoPrint Manager can encrypt the files for jobs in pending, held, ripped, or retained state.

InfoPrint Manager Uses OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org) to enable Job Encryption. To encrypt and decrypt large amounts of data, InfoPrint Manager uses symmetric encryption. Only printable job files, RIP files, submission files, and email-body files for Email DSS are encrypted.

    Note:
  • On AIX and Linux, pdpr -l copies the file instead of creating a symbolic link.
  • To have all InfoPrint Manager files encrypted, including temporary files, instead of using Job Encryption, we recommend encrypting all the partitions where InfoPrint Manager stores files: /var/pd, /var/psf,
