Process of Configuring Secure Communications

This topic describes how to set up encryption for communication between components in the Siebel environment. Encryption can be configured for data traffic between the Web server, Siebel Server, and Siebel Web Client.

To configure secure communications in your Siebel environment, perform the following tasks, as appropriate for your environment:

• Installing Certificate Files
• Configuring SSL Mutual Authentication
• Configuring SSL Encryption for the Siebel Enterprise or a Siebel Server
• Configuring SSL Encryption for SWSE
• Review About Configuring SSL for the Siebel Management Framework
• Enabling SSL Acceleration for Web Server and Web Client Communications
• Review About Configuring Encryption for Web Clients
• Configuring Encryption for Mobile Web Client Synchronization
• Configuring a Siebel Web Client to Use SSL

The encryption options described in these topics are not used to encrypt data in the database; this is described in About Data Encryption. Also, these encryption options are not used for communications with the database—for this type of encryption, check with your database vendor.
