999 - How to use the Encryption Key Checker

The Encryption Key Checker is a simple Redstor utility that validates an account's encryption key and displays the result. Download it here.

How to use the utility (checks one Account at a time)

1. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file and run the "EncryptionKeyChecker.exe" file.
2. Enter the AccountServer address in the Account Server field
3. Enter the full path (from collection to group) of the Account in the Group\Account field
4. Enter the encryption key in the Encryption Key field
5. Click Validate

Once the Account has been validated, one of these results will be displayed in the Checker's window:

• Encryption Key Validated - in green
• Encryption Key or Account Name Not Valid - in red
• Other errors, such as the Account Server not being found, will also be reported

Example:

How to use the utility command line (checks multiple Accounts)

1. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file.
   
   
2. Create a comma-delimited text file containing the list of Accounts. The format for each row should be as such:
   
   
   [AccountServer],[Collection\Group\Account name],[Encryption key]

   
   Example: sp.pro.redstor.com,Demo\BobWin10,enigma123
   
   

3. Run the utility from the command line as follows:
   
   
   EncryptionKeyChecker.exe -scriptmode -sourcefile=[input file] -outfile=[output file]

   
   Example: EncryptionKeyChecker.exe -scriptmode -sourcefile=C:\Temp\ListOfAccountsToCheck.csv -outfile=C:\Temp\ListOfResults.csv

Once all the keys have been validated, the output file will indicate the result for each Account, for example:

sp.pro.redstor.com,Demo\BobWin10,enigma123,Encryption Key Validated
sp.pro.redstor.com,Demo\CharlieWin2008r2,password,Encryption Key or Account Name Not Valid
