The system administrator is responsible for:

• Configuring message security providers on the Application Server.

• Managing user databases.

• Managing keystore and truststore files.

• Configuring a Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) provider if using Encryption and running a version of the Java SDK prior to version 1.5.0.
