Security and encryption

When working with sensitive customer data such as passwords, Service Management protects the data using asymmetric encryption. The sensitive data is encrypted with a public key provided by the customer. The private key is stored by the On-Premise Bridge agent at the customer site. To enable the encryption, you should follow this process:

  1. Generate a pair of public and private keys, using the key generation script provided in the On-Premise Bridge agent installation.
  2. Copy the content of the public key and paste it into the Service Management user interface.
  3. Import the key pair in all On-Premise Bridge agents to enable the decryption, using the import script provided in the On-Premise Bridge agent installation.
