Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Managing administrator access

Administrator Access provides settings to configure how users can connect to DDMC. Each protocol is configured separately, using the procedures in this section.

1. Click the Settings button (the gear icon) in the DDMC banner, then select Access > Administrator Access.
2. View the Passphrase, if it is set, or set it, if not. The Passphrase is a human-readable (understandable) key – like a smart card – which is used to generate a machine-usable AES 256 encryption key. (For more information, see the DD OS Administration Guide.) You can also view the available services, and for a selected service, the service options that are configured for it.
