It's about encryption key

  • Hi All,
    In know it's irrelevant to sql server but, hope somebody can help or let me know the steps.
    Question : Our client has generated a new encryption key , so how to implement or add that new key on our side?
                    Let me know what info can I ask to client to implement this on our side?

    Thanks In Advnc.

    An encryption key for what?

    You say it is irrelevant to SQL Server, so what software is it for?

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

    Thanks for the reply, bmg.
    It's gpg s/w. I Want to import new encryption key. Now I know the process or steps.

    Thanks🙂

    Ok.  I am pretty sure that you shouldn't need to do anything with SQL for a gpg software encryption key.  I'd contact the supplier of the software or look for a FAQ on their website OR contact the person who supplied you the key as they will likely be the most help with this.

    Chances are it is just a matter of importing the key either in the tool or installing the certificate within windows on the server.  All depends on the software though.

    Good luck 🙂

    Yes, you are right. That's why I mentioned in subject irrelevant to SQL. 🙂
    Waiting for the encryption key. Once received will do that.

    Thanks.
