Rotate Tenant Root Encryption Key

In standard architectural configurations, PAM-Pro utilizes Azure Managed Identities which autonomously rotate backend credentials without manual intervention.

When to Perform a Manual Rotation

If you suspect an active compromise within the physical boundary of your key vault, or if your organization demands a manual rotation policy explicitly out of band from Azure's backend timers, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Cryptographic Core.
  2. Select your active backend Tenant Root Encryption Key.
  3. Click Force Cryptographic Regeneration.
The System Settings tab, showing live directory connectivity above the security and encryption controls where tenant root key handling lives, and the maintenance section.
Settings › System. Key rotation sits with the other irreversible actions, behind explicit confirmation.

Expected Downtime

During a manual rotation sequence, PAM-Pro's central control plane cannot broker physical access tokens. Any active Just-In-Time checkout requests will be queued until the new secret material finishes syndicating to the application endpoints (typically 45 - 90 seconds). Active sessions that have already been authorized and initiated are completely unaffected.
