BAR_DECRYPTION configuration parameter

Use the BAR_DECRYPTION parameter to decrypt the backups.

onconfig.std value: Not set. If BACKUP_DECRYPTION is not set, backup data that will not be decrypted.
takes effect: When ON-Bar, ontape, onlog and archecker starts.

Usage

Use the BAR_DECRYPTION to override the BAR_ENCRYPTION configuration parameter during a restore. Like with BAR_DECRYPTION, you can set the path to a keystore or to a keyfile. You cannot set the cipher in this parameter as the cipher is set by the object to be restored.

Syntax for the BAR_DECRYPTION configuration parameter

>>-BAR_DECRYPTION--keystore--=--keystore_name------------------>
                '--keyfile---=--keyfile_name--'

Table 1. Option for the BAR_DECRYPTION configuration parameter value
Field	Value
keystore	The `keystore` specifies the name of the keystore and stash file names. The files are created in the INFORMIXDIR/etc directory: `keystore`.p12 = The keystore file that contains the security certificates. `keystore`.sth = The stash file that contains the decryption password. You must manually back up the keystore and password stash files. These files are not backed up when you run a back up with the ON-Bar or ontape utilities.
keyfile	The `keyfile` specifies the full path of a text file that contains a backup decryption key. The key must be encoded in base64 format.
