PSEnc
PSEnc
This command line utility is used to batch-encrypt plain PBA policies to encrypted PBA policies and save them to a specific location.
Usage
- Batch-decryption of encrypted PBA/FDE policies. The decrypt function requires the administrator password in the encrypted policies.
- Command line utility or GUI application.
PSEnc –f <source> -t <target> -p <password> [-d] [-s] [-b] [-h] [-n]
- The following parameters are available:
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
-f |
Indicator followed by source PBA policy file or directory to be encrypted. |
<Source> |
Name of the source policy file or directory to be encrypted. |
-t |
Indicator followed by target directory to store the encrypted policy/policies. |
<Encrypted> |
Name of the target directory to store the encrypted policy/policies. |
-p |
Indicator followed by encryption password. |
<Password> |
Encryption password. |
[-d] |
Indicates decryption of the encrypted PBA policy file. Supported only in Command line mode. If this option is provided: -f indicates encrypted PBA policy file; -t indicates directory to save encrypted/decrypted PBA policy file(s). |
[-s] |
Silent mode, without GUI. |
[-b] |
Batch processing indicator. |
[-h] |
Display the parameters listed here in the command prompt. |
[-n] |
Indicates switch to FDE policy mode (to encrypt/decrypt FDE policies). Supported only in Command line mode. |
Examples
- Example 1: Encrypt a plain PBA policy file located at C:\plain.pba and save it to D:\. The password is set to 12345678:
psenc -f c:\plain.pba -t D:\ -p 12345678
- Example 2: Perform the same as in example 1 in silent mode:
psenc -f c:\plain.pba -t D:\ -p 12345678 -s
- Example 3: Encrypt all the plain PBA policy files in directory C:\policies and save the encrypted files to the directory d:\policies. The password is set to 12345678:
psenc -f c:\policies -t D:\policies -p 12345678 -s –b
- Example 4: Decrypt encrypted PBA policy file c:\encrypt.pba and save it to D: \. The password is set to 12345678
Psenc –d –f c:\ encrypted.pba –t D:\ -p 12345678
- Example 5: Decrypt the encrypted FDE policy file C:\encrypted.nbs and save it into D:\. The password is 12345678.
psenc -d -f C:\encrypted.nbs -t D:\ -p 12345678 –n
Specific example
- Example 1: provide single file mode in source option, after processing copy it into target directory.
- Decrypt PBA Policy
psenc -d -s -f D:\encpolicies\PBA\t1.pba -t D:\target –p 12345678
- Decrypt FDE policy
psenc -n -d -s -f D:\encpolicies\FDE\fe1.nbs -t D:\target -p 12345678
- Example 2: Batch mode -provide files in source directory, after processing copy it into target directory.
- Decrypt PBA Policy
psenc -d -s -f D:\encpolicies\PBA1\ -t D:\target -b –p 12345678
- Decrypt FDE policy
psenc -n -d -s -f D:\encpolicies\FDE\ -t D:\target -b –p 12345678
