Changing a Pre-shared Key

For security purposes, reset the pre-shared key periodically. With the pre-shared key you set, the system uses a secure key export algorithm to generate a new authentication credential. This credential is used to authenticate the session between the storage system and the antivirus agent.

Prerequisites

An antivirus server has been configured and is running properly.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings > Data Security > Antivirus Service.
  2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
  3. Click Modify Pre-shared Key.

    The Modify Pre-shared Key page is displayed on the right.

  4. Set New Pre-shared Key and Confirm Pre-shared Key.

    • New Pre-shared Key and Confirm Pre-shared Key must be set to the same value.
    • The pre-shared key contains 16 to 96 characters.

  5. Click OK.

Follow-up Procedure

After the operation is successful, you need to set the same pre-shared key on the antivirus server.
