Usage
The secure vault is an encrypted file system on the SteelHead where all SteelHead SSL server settings, other certificates (the CA, peering trusts, and peering certificates) and the peering private key are stored. The secure vault protects your SSL private keys and certificates when the SteelHead is not powered on.
You can set a password for the secure vault. The password is used to unlock the secure vault when the SteelHead is powered on. After rebooting the SteelHead, SSL traffic is not optimized until the secure vault is unlocked with the unlock <password> parameter.
Data in the secure vault is always encrypted, whether or not you choose to set a password. The password is used only to unlock the secure vault.
To change the secure vault password
1. Reset the password with the reset-password <password> parameter.
2. Specify a new password with the new-password <password> parameter.
Example
amnesiac (config) # secure-vault unlock mypassword
