Installing the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack

This topic describes how to install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

For an overview of the contents of the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack and for details on how to obtain it, see About the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

Before you install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack, carry out the following tasks:

• Install and configure a Siebel Enterprise.

  For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

• Read About Upgrading Data to a Higher Encryption Level
• Use the Siebel Image Creator utility to create a network image from which you install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

  For more information on using the Siebel Image Creator utility, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

• Change the key file password.

  For more information, see Managing the Key File Using the Key Database Manager.

To install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack

1. Navigate to the location that contains the installer for the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack:

   Siebel_Image\OperatingSystem\Server\Siebel_Strong_Encryption\encryption

   where:

   • Siebel_Image is the directory for your Siebel network image.
   • OperatingSystem is the operating system where you install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack. For example, Windows for Microsoft Windows.

     NOTE:  Siebel Strong Encryption Pack is only available in U.S. English (enu) and can be installed in a Siebel environment that uses other languages.

2. Run the install executable as described in the following list:

   Windows	setup.exe
   Oracle Solaris	setupsol
   HP-UX	setuphp
   AIX	setupaix
   Linux	setuplinux

   The installation starts.

3. Specify the following directory as appropriate:
   • SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr (Windows) or SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr (UNIX) to install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack on the Siebel Server
   • SIEBEL_ROOT\SWEApp (Windows) or SIEBEL_ROOT/SWEApp (UNIX) to install the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack on the SWSE

     where SIEBEL_ROOT is the installation directory for your Siebel Enterprise.

4. Select the encryption algorithm to use, AES, or RC2.

   For information about these algorithms, see About the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

5. Select the desired key lengths.

   For information about available key lengths, see About the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

6. Complete the installation as directed by the command-line or GUI. On completion of the installation, the following files are created:
   • keydbupgrade. This file is located in the BIN subdirectory of the location you specified in Step 3.
   • (Windows only) sslcrsaxxx.dll

     where xxx refers to the key length that you selected in Step 5. This file is located in the BIN subdirectory of the location you specified in Step 3.

   • (UNIX or LINUX only) libsslcrsaxxx.so

     where xxx refers to the key length that you selected in Step 5. This file is located in the LIB subdirectory of the location you specified in Step 3.

     This completes the installation of the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

7. To verify that the encryption algorithm has been upgraded to the level you selected, navigate to the SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\bin directory (Windows) or the $SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/lib directory (UNIX) and identify the highest RSA DLL file that has been installed.

   For example, if the highest RSA DLL file is 56, then 56-bit RC2 encryption is installed; if the highest RSA DLL file is 128, then 128-bit RC2 encryption is installed.

8. Reencrypt the Siebel administrator password using the new encryption algorithm provided by the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack. For information on this task, see one of the following topics:
   • Changing System Administrator Passwords on Microsoft Windows
   • Changing the Siebel Administrator Password on UNIX
9. If you are using the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack with the Siebel Reports Server, and if you have encrypted communications between the AOM and the Actuate iServer, perform the steps outlined in Using the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack with Siebel Reports Server.
