Data Loss Prevention

I am planning to replicate my production environment to dev environment so i cloned my existing DB with all the contents and changed the DB instance name,.When i tried to install enforce in a new server i unchecked "initialize DB" because i wanted to connect to the existing DB. BUt in teh next tab i am prompted for "Cryptomasterkey.properties" . I am not sure about the implications on copying it from the production DB. What does this file contain? can i copy it from the production and based on teh connection string will my dev enforce initialize the dev DB using this key?

regards

Remas

The Cryptomasterkey.properties file contains an ignition key which enables the remainder of the db contents. Without this key the remainder of the encrypted portion of the DB would not be readable. You can safely copy it from your production enviroment to the dev. Which DB you connect to is based solely on the connection string.
