encryption_key_approval
SecureCloud provides an encryption and decryption key to a virtual machine image after its information has been evaluated against the rules. If the requesting machine instance meets the criteria defined in the policies, then you can take one of the following actions on the pending key:
Auto approve (immediately)
Auto approval (within a certain period of time)
Manual approval
Deny
The period of time is set by the system administrator from the SecureCloud Web Console | Policies > Policies page > Policies - Edit Policies page | Actions tab.
To approve the key request of a device from the machine instance, (see Rule information for encryption key approval), the Runtime Agent must collect the appropriate information and report it to the Management Server for evaluation.
Location: Web Console main menu | Policies > Policies page | desired policy link > Edit Policy page
Click the Actions tab.
If there are no rules configured in a policy, the key approval action is set to Manual Approve. To change the key approval action, specify one or more rules in the policy.
Specify the key approval action for SecureCloud to take when rules either match or do not match.
Approve — SecureCloud approves the key request automatically at encryption key request time.
Manual Approve — To set the key approval process to "Manual Approve" either when the rules match or do not match will give the key a status of "Pending" in the "Running Instances" page. In this case, you will have the option to either approve or deny a key to access the secure data storage (see Acting Upon a Pending Key).
If you select "Manual Approve" for either the If all rules match drop-down or If one or more rule fails drop-down, SecureCloud enables you to specify a time when automatic approval will occur if no manual approval is taken.
To enable scheduled integrity checking, select the check box by the same name.
With this featured enabled, you can schedule integrity checking on a recurring basis (Scheduling an Integrity Check).
