SekChek

Decryption Instructions


Prerequisites

You should already have completed the following:

  • Scanned the AS/400 host and downloaded the Scan files (PROFBAS.TXT & SYSVALS.TXT);
  • Encrypted these files and e-mailed them to us for processing;
  • Received the file SEKASR.SDE from us. This file contains your encrypted SekChek for AS/400 security report.

Outline of this Step

SEKASR.SDE

Decrypt





Decrypt the SekChek Report

Copy file SEKASR.SDE to the desired directory on your PC. Note that your decrypted SekChek report will be written to the same directory.

Select the SekChek for AS/400 Tab, click Decrypt...


Follow the instructions on the screen… Ensure you select the correct report file, SEKASR.SDE. Click Decrypt…

Enter the same password you specified in the encryption process…

Click OK

File SEKASR.SDE will be decrypted and your report written to file 'SekChek_AS400 Report xxxxxx.doc'.

Clean-up

Once you are satisfied that the report is OK, you can delete file SEKASR.SDE if you wish.


Notes:

Passwords are case sensitive - I.e. 'seCret29' is different to 'secret29'.

The Display File Header option will display header information for any SekChek encrypted file. Encrypted File Headers contain information that can be used to uniquely identify SekChek files.


If you encounter problems, phone or e-mail us with details of the problem and we will help guide you through the process.
