Enabling Job Encryption for InfoPrint Manager for Linux

To enable Job Encryption for InfoPrint Manager servers:
  1. Stop all running instances of InfoPrint Manager. In interoperated environments, stop all running instances of InfoPrint Manager on all interoperated machines.
  2. Copy the sample configuration file, ipm-file-encryption.cfg, from /usr/lpp/pd/cfg-samples/file-encryption directory to /var/pddir/default_cell/crypto directory.
  3. Uncomment and set EnableFileEncryption to 1.
  4. Uncomment and set Cipher to the desired cipher to use for encryption.
  5. Run pdenc_jobs as the user that runs InfoPrint Manager or root. In interoperated environments, run pdenc_jobs sequentially on all interoperated machines.
  6. Start all instances of InfoPrint Manager or reboot.
    Important:
  • Do not change the cipher in the ipm-file-encryption.cfg configuration file once encryption has been enabled. To change the cipher, follow the procedure in Disabling Job Encryption for InfoPrint Manager for Linux, change the cipher in the ipm-file-encryption.cfg configuration file, and then follow the procedure to enable Job Encryption for InfoPrint Manager.
  • Do not remove the ipm-file-encryption.dat file once encryption has been enabled. This file is stored in the same directory as the ipm-file-encryption.cfg configuration file.
  • Before running pdenc_jobs, make sure that there is at least 1.5* (size of jobs + rip files) free space available on the partition where jobs are stored.
