Working with security keys

Use these tasks to work with and manage security keys.
Tasks
Using ASSC keys in multi-server environments
Generating and using new ASSC keys
Exporting ASSC keys to allow agents to access multiple ePO servers
Viewing systems that use an ASSC key pair
Making an ASSC key pair the master
Deleting ASSC keys
Using master repository keys in multi-server environments

Using ASSC keys in multi-server environments
Use either of these tasks to ensure that all agents can communicate with any required server
in the environment.
Previous versions of ePolicy Orchestrator allowed agents to easily roam among multiple ePO
servers within an organization. Importing ASSC keys into other ePO servers allows agents
version 3.6 or later that are managed by source ePO server to successfully communicate with
these other ePO servers.
Two strategies ensure agents can communicate with multiple servers. Use a common master
ASSC key pair for all ePO servers, or use a different master ASSC key pair for each ePO server
and make each server aware of the other servers' keys.
Tasks
Using the same ASSC key pair for all servers and agents
Using a different ASSC key pair per ePO server
Using the same ASSC key pair for all servers and agents
Use this task to ensure that all ePO servers and agents use the same ASSC key pair.
