Subsequent to storing the encrypted managed device locking key, the managed device locking subsystem(s) retrieve the encrypted managed device locking key from the key storage, and decrypt the encrypted managed device locking key to provide a decrypted managed device locking key. The managed device locking subsystem(s) then use the decrypted managed device locking key to unlock the managed device.

Abstract: A device-capability-based locking key management system includes a key management system coupled to a server device via a network. The server device includes storage devices coupled to a remote access controller device. The remote access controller device identifies each of the storage devices, and then identifies a key management profile for each of the storage devices. A first key management profile identified for at least one first storage device is different from a second key management profile identified for at least one second storage device. The remote access controller device then uses the respective key management profile identified for each of the storage devices to create a respective key management sub-client for each of the storage devices, and each respective key management sub-client communicates with the key management system to provide a locking key for its respective storage device.

Abstract: A web browser plugin or other software can be used to integrate visualization of analytical and/or debugging information related to a web page that is being viewed. Particular elements on the web page that are instrumented for tracking can be visually augmented, allowing a developer to see where and how certain aspects of web page functionality are being tracked and/or implemented. Certain information relating to the web page may be surfaced via a graphical area that is displayed concurrently with the web page, e.g., within the web browser that is being used to view the web page. The graphical area can also include selectable elements that can be used to launch additional queries into back-end services related to the web page. The present techniques allow for not only better and more convenient visualization of web page related data, but can speed up development time, reducing both computing and developer resources.
