The MCKeyfileEditor is used to safely and securly store elevation and authentication credentials, resulting in a multi-level AES 256 bits encrypted key file (MCUpgrade.mcu).

NOTE: 1, 2 and 3 do not need to be entered when enabling / checking 5.

  1. Enter one or multiple usernames to switch to for elevation. These usernames can be local or domain administrators.
  2. Enter one or multiple passwords for the usernames provided under 1.
  3. Enter one or multiple domain names. @Computername is used for local Administrator accounts (must include the @ in front of Computername!). Domain names are entered as is, without an @ in front!
  4. (optional) Enter SMTP authentication information if the sending of SMTP progress emails requires authentication
  5. When enabling / checking this option, MarvelClient Upgrade will exclusively elevate via the panagenda Installer Service.
  6. (optional) Specify a "valid until" date after which the key file becomes invalid / expires.
  7. The Whitelisting tab is for Whitelisting purposes and mandatory when checking 5.

When done with filling in / updating all fields, choose File\Save as... (or File\Save for pre-existing key files) or CTRL+S. If you have made any changes and forget to save them, you will be prompted upon closing the KeyfileEditor.

Upon saving the key file, you will be prompted for a password (twice when initially creating the key file). The password is required to later again open/view or edit the key file!


If the KeyfileEditor was launched from the MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration Wizard, it will attach the key file to the corresponding field on the Elevation tab after closing the KeyfileEditor.
