Hi TSM-ers,

Environment:
Client: Windows XP SP 2, TSM Client 5.5.1.0 and 5.5.1.6
Server: Windows 2003, TSM Server 5.3.2.1.

DSM.OPT:
ENCRYPTIONTYPE: AES128
ENCRYPTKEY: SAVE

I understand that the encryption password is stored in the registry
using the hostname to encrypt it.
When I copy the TSM registry to another machine with another hostname I
would like TSM to reject
the encryption password because it was encrypted with the wrong
hostname.
But unfortunately TSM on the second machine is happy with the "wrong"
encryption password and
restores the data from the first machine without asking for an
encryption password.

Is this correct (works as designed) or should I report a bug?

Thanks in advance
Thomas Rupp
