Post configuration checklist

To confirm that CipherTrust Manager is set up correctly, verify that you completed the tasks in this checklist.

Credentials & SSH Key Management

Before completing the installation, ensure the following steps are taken to avoid irreversible data loss:

Save and document credentials, private keys, storage location, and access procedures for future reference.
Acknowledge that loss of credentials or SSH key is unrecoverable by Thales or Verint.
Understand that data protected by CipherTrust encryption keys will be inaccessible if credentials are lost.
Communicate this risk clearly to all stakeholders involved in setting up and maintenance.
