   Storage Password	Enter the password of the DD administrator.
   SSH Port Number	Enter a storage SSH port number.
   Reset Host Fingerprint (when editing vault storage only)	(Security officer only) If you change the FQDN or IP address of the DD host, select to reset the fingerprint. The Cyber Recovery software then sends an alert message.
