DCE Backup Contents

Can you advise what is stored inside the DCE Backup files, does it include sensitive information such as all the usernames and passwords of the DCE users and discovered devices? 

If yes, is it encrypted? 

If it is not encrypted, how do we secure this backup?

Dear Lai Yuan Jiun,

  1. The DCE software backups stores all accounts usernames (i.e. for authorization in DCE software) in an unencrypted form. And DCE software accounts passwords are stored in a hashing and salting form (i.e. encrypted form). That is, DCE software accounts are fully protected.
  2. Unfortunately, the accounts (logins and passwords for web and console login, but not SNMP community strings) for SNMP Devices File Transfer in the DCE software backups are stored in an unencrypted form. Therefore, the SNMP Devices account is not protected in any way. Please note, that this statement does not apply to the NetBotz Appliances File Transfer.

 

Hence the conclusion: any backups of the DCE software are best stored in storage with limited access, which is reliably protected in various ways.

With respect.

Anything related to security should be taken seriously by Schneider.
Instead of relying on limiting the access to the files, isn't it better to have Schneider implement it as a feature inside DCE data export.

Hi John,

Before the feature enhancement can be completed,

Can I know which are the directory and files that contains sensitive information that needs to be encrypted ?

Currently I trying to use GPG or GPG-ZIP to encrypt the entire directory but the full backup is too large.

So thinking of encrypting only the necessary files only.

 

Regards,

Francis

Dear Francis Thong,

From your comment:

Regardless of the type of backup, it is necessary to encrypt only one file - nbcServer.tar. This file contains unencrypted sensitive information, which I wrote about in response to this post.

With respect.
