set-dare-encryption

set-dare-encryption

Enable data‑at‑rest encryption, or list the current configuration state.

When encryption is enabled, you are prompted for a passphrase between 8 and 64 characters, which is used to generate the encryption key. You must enter this passphrase at the console every time the FortiSandbox boots. Do not lose this passphrase, if you do, the FortiSandbox will not be able to boot and will become unusable.

  • For VMs: you must restore a snapshot or reinstall.
  • For hardware appliances: an RMA is required.
  • This configuration currently encrypts only user configuration data and job data, including pending and finished jobs.
  • DARE mode cannot be enabled while FortiSandbox is part of a cluster; however, the unit may join a cluster after DARE is enabled.
  • DARE settings are not synchronized across cluster members.
  • File sizes will increase by 8 KB to 12 KB after encryption.
  • The only supported method to disable DARE is to run a CLI factory-reset.
  • This CLI is not available on virtual cloud and E models.

Syntax

set-dare-encryption [-h|-l|-e]

Option Description

-h

Help information.

-l

Examples

Example:
FSASN> set-dare-encryption -h 

Usage: set-dare-encryption [-h|-l|-e] 

        -h Help information 

        -l List data-at-rest encryption status 

        -e Enable data-at-rest encryption

FSASN > set-dare-encryption -l 

Data-at-rest is not encrypted

Example:
FSASN > set-dare-encryption -e 

Data-at-rest encryption requires a passphrase. It will need to be entered at 
the Console each time the device is powered on. 

WARNING:  Do not lose this passphrase as the device will not function
correctly without entering the exact passphrase.  Data is not recoverable
without the passphrase. 

The system will be rebooted after entering the passphrase twice.  

Do you want to continue? (y/n)y  

Enter DARE passphrase: ********
