Viewing Key Service Requests
If you deselect the local authorization option, you are choosing remote
authorization. When you click Recover Now, the key recovery agents must each
access the Data Recovery Manager Agent Services pages at their own locations,
and use the Authorize Recovery button to enter each authorization separately. You
are informed of the status of the authorizations. When all the authorizations have
been entered, the recovery is completed and you receive the encrypted file that
contains the recovered key and certificate.
To use the remote authorization feature, the designated key recovery agents must
also be designated Data Recovery Manager agents, so that they are privileged to
access the Agent Services pages directly. If you are using only local authorization,
anyone can be designated as a recovery agent, since only you will need to access
the recovery authorization form.
If you are a designated key recovery agent as well as a Data Recovery Manager
agent, and another Data Recovery Manager agent informs you that a remote key
recovery authorization has been initiated, enter your authorization as follows:
Go to the Data Recovery Manager Agent Services page (see "Accessing Agent
1.
Services" on page 23). You must submit the proper client certificate to get
access to this page.
Click Authorize Recovery.
2.
Enter the recovery authorization reference number that was part of the
3.
notification.
This number identifies the particular key recovery request that you are to
authorize.
Click Examine.
4.
Enter your key recovery agent ID and password.
5.
Click OK.
6.
The initiating agent is informed that you have completed your authorization.
