Reactivate a Cache-Only Key

Reactivate a Cache-Only Key

If you still have your named credential associated with a key that was destroyed in Salesforce, you can reactivate a destroyed cache-only key from Setup or programmatically through the API. Reactivating a destroyed key makes it the active key. Before you reactivate a destroyed key, make sure that the corresponding key service connection is recovered.

Required Editions

Available in both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience.
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions. Requires purchasing Salesforce Shield or Shield Platform Encryption, and the External Key Management Service.
User Permissions Needed
To generate, destroy, export, import, upload, and configure tenant secrets and customer-supplied key material: Manage Encryption Keys
  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Platform Encryption, and then select Key Management.
  2. Find your key in the table and click Activate.
    The Shield Key Management Service fetches the reactivated cache-only key from your key service and uses it to access data that was previously encrypted with it.
    Note
    Note You can sync your data to your active cache-only key just like you can with any other key material.
