Installed with Edge Encryption

Edge Encryption installs tables to store encryption-related data, system properties to configure default behavior, and the edge_encryption role to administer Edge Encryption.

Tables installed with Edge Encryption

Edge Encryption adds the following tables.

  • Edge Encryption Configuration [sys_encryption_configuration]

    Contains encrypted fields and tables for which attachments are encrypted.

  • Edge Encryption Rule [sys_encryption_rule]

    Contains a record for each rule. A rule has a name, the condition when it is used, a script, and an order field.

  • Edge Encryption Invalid Insert Log [sys_edge_encryption_invalid_insert_log]

    Contains log messages created for attempts to save unencrypted data to an encrypted field.

  • Edge Encryption Proxy [sys_encryption_proxy]

    Contains information about the encryption proxy application.

  • Edge Proxy Encryption Type [sys_proxy_encryption_type]

    Used for enabling and disabling encryption types on the encryption form.

  • Encryption Job Execution [sys_encryption_job_execution]

    Supports mass encryption jobs.

  • Encryption Job Execution Chunk [sys_encryption_job_execution_chunk]

    Supports mass encryption jobs.

  • Scheduled Encryption Job [sysauto_encryption_job]

    Lists scheduled jobs for encryption, decryption, key rotation, order token repair, and database recovery.

  • Encryption Key Configuration [sys_encryption_key_configuration]

    Lists default encryption keys.

  • Encryption Key [sys_encryption_key]

    Lists available keys and key attributes.

  • Proxy Encryption Key [sys_encryption_proxy_key]

    Lists proxy encryption keys.

Properties installed with Edge Encryption

Edge Encryption adds the following properties.

Note: To open the System Properties [sys_properties] table, enter sys_properties.list in the navigation filter.

  • glide.edge.pattern.disallowed.chars

    A list of characters that are not allowed in patterns.

    • Type: a string of a comma-separated list of values
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
    • glide.edge.pattern.min.size

    The minimum pattern size allowed. Allowing smaller patterns means finding more matches, which increases overhead.

    • Type: number
    • Default value: 5
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
    • sn_edge_encryption.logging.destination

    Where messages are logged.

    • Type: string
    • Default value: file
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
    • sn_edge_encryption.logging.verbosity

    The logging level to use.

    • Type: string
    • Default value: info
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
    • sn_edge_encryption.encryption.proxy.buildtag

    The proxy version registered with your instance.

    • Type: string
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
    • sn_edge_encryption.cleartext.allowed

    When true, allows clear text to be saved in an encrypted field. This happens when a user is accessing the instance without going through the Edge Encryption proxy. When false, the system prevents clear text from being saved in an encrypted field.

    • Type: Boolean
    • Default value: false
    • Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
