Password and key management

During the installation of Bravura Security Fabric , ensure that the security communication key (CommKey) used to encrypt communication between Bravura Security Fabric servers and other components on the network has been randomly created. Either create your own or use the default random key.

You should change the CommKey on a periodic basis. Note, the CommKey is located on all Bravura Security Fabric servers, secondary servers, proxy servers, and target systems using transparent password synchronization or listeners (anything that calls the Bravura Security Fabric API). Identify all instances of the CommKey, schedule a change and complete the change, then test and verify that the change was successfully carried out.

Use a strong password policy for all passwords associated with the use of Bravura Security Fabric . At a minimum, always use the default password policy provided with Bravura Security Fabric .
