● Recovery of an EMS-encrypted device now proceeds as expected on a computer and Dell Server other than the original
encrypting computer and Server originally managing the device encryption, when the Servers belong to the same federation.
To configure federation, follow these steps:
1. On one of the Servers to be federated, edit <installation folder>\Enterprise Edition\Security
Server\conf\federatedservers.properties:
server.code - Replace "ENC(<Server code>)" with "CLR(<new code; string of characters you select>)". This will be a
shared code among the federated Servers.
Server.uris - List the Servers to be federated, separated with commas. Example: https://server1:8443,https://
server2:8443
2. Save federatedservers.properties.
3. Copy federatedservers.properties and save it off the Security Server.
NOTE: The file must be saved off the Security Server before restart.
4. Restart the Security Server.
After restart, "CLR(<new code; string of characters you select>)" is changed to "ENC(<new shared code>)" and the new
shared Server code is applied to the Security Server.
5. Copy the federatedservers.properties file to the \Security Server\conf folder of each Server to be federated.
6. Restart each Security Server after copying federatedservers.properties to its \conf folder.
