Prev	Encrypting agent passwords by using security keys	Next

Use the vcsencrypt utility to generate a security key.

Note:

You must be a root user or must have administrative privileges to generate the security keys.

To generate a security key, perform the following steps on any cluster node:

Make the VCS configuration writable.
```
# haconf -makerw
```
Run the vcsencrypt utility.
```
# vcsencrypt -gensecinfo
```
When prompted enter any pass phrase, having at least eight characters.
The utility generates the security key and displays the following message:
```
Generating SecInfo...please wait...
SecInfo generated successfully.
Trying to update its value in config file...
SecInfo updated successfully.
```
Save the VCS configuration and make it read only.
```
# haconf -dump  - makero
				
```
