Question about symmetrical keys

Post by Aswippe Johnson »

I have been letting DCP-o-matic select random encryption keys, but is it possible to manually enter, say, an alphanumeric string as the key, to be reused when necessary? For example, a group of related DCPs having the same symmetric key (such as "mydcpgroupnumberone"), so I could add to that group later and have the DCPs automatically enable themselves on a previously-issued KDM?

Thank you for your help.

This would not work, as far as I can see, because KDMs are for a specific CPL ID. It's not just about the symmetric key.
