8.11 Managing Passphrase for Encrypted
iFolders
An encrypted iFolder has a unique data encryption key that is auto-generated during iFolder
creation. The key is encrypted by using a passphrase provided by the user and also by using the
public key of the recovery agent.
The recovery agent is selected during the iFolder account creation process if the iFolder
administrator has enabled the encryption policy on the server.
If the iFolder administrator has enabled encryption, a dialog box is displayed during iFolder creation
for you to enter your passphrase. iFolder uses the passphrase to generate a unique encryption key to
encrypt or decrypt the iFolder data on the iFolder server. If you forget the passphrase, you cannot
access the iFolder data. You must reset your passphrase to gain access to the iFolder data.

8.11.1 Recovering an Encrypted iFolder

Use the Passphrase Recovery Wizard to reset the passphrase and recover an encrypted iFolder.
Follow the steps given below to launch the Passphrase Recovery Wizard:
1 In the iFolder browser, click Security > Forgot Passphrase to launch the wizard.
2 From the iFolder Account list, select the domain for which the passphrase must be reset and
click Forward.
