Autostart automatically delivers a passphrase that you configure to open the keystore, so there is no prompting for a keystore passphrase. Autostart does not impact scripts, but potentially gives unfettered access to encrypted data.

Autostart can be configured when you enable your database for encryption, by adding -Autostart {admin | user} to the PROUTIL ENABLEENCRYPTION command.

You can change, refresh, or disable the autostart configuration with the PROUTIL EPOLICY MANAGE command.
