ENABLE.KEY

The ENABLE.KEY command is used to enter the password for a secure encryption key.

Format

ENABLE.KEY {keyname {password}}

where

The command prompts for items not included on the command line. For best security, the password should be entered via a prompt so that it will not appear on the command stack or in log files.

An encryption key created using the CREATE.SECURE.KEY command can only be accessed in a QM session after it has been enabled by use of the ENABLE.KEY command or the corresponding ENABLE.KEY QMBasic statement.
