Managing gateway secrets

The G450 provides a mechanism for storage, backup, and restore of sensitive materials
(passwords and keys) maintained in the Media Gateways.
All sensitive materials are encrypted using a Master Configuration Key (MCK), derived from a
passphrase entered by an administrator. The secrets are then stored in the configuration file in
an encrypted format. This enables copying configurations, including secrets, from one device to
another. The only requirement is that the administrator must generate an identical MCK (by
using the same passphrase) in the target device before executing the copy operation.
Note:
All gateways have the same default MCK. For security reasons, it is
Note:
recommended to configure a new MCK immediately upon gateway installation.
