Central Management Workflow

Overview

Application Data Protection stores the configurations and policies for all the applications and databases under protection. These configurations and policies are created and managed by the Application Data Protection Administrator. They are shared with the associated clients when a new connector is registered or a running client is notified of change. To use centralized management, the client must be registered on the CipherTrust Manager.

Workflow

The following diagram shows the basic flow of central management:

1. The Application Data Protection Administrator creates an application.

2. The CipherTrust Administrator sends a registration Token to the Application Data Protection Administrator.

3. The Application Data Protection Administrator send the registration token to the Orchestrator.

4. The Orchestrator shares the token details with the client.

5. Using the token, the client registered on the CipherTrust Manager.

6. The CipherTrust Manager shares the client configuration/policies details with the registered client. The client uses the configuration details to perform cryptographic operations.
