Siebel Security Guide > Communications and Data Encryption > Reencrypting Password Parameters in the Siebns.dat FileThis topic provides information on how to reencrypt Gateway Name Server parameters that are encrypted in the siebns.dat file after you have increased the level of encryption you use with Siebel Business Applications. For information on how to increase the encryption level using Siebel Strong Encryption, see About Siebel Strong Encryption and Increasing the Encryption Level. Masked parameters are parameters that have their values encrypted. In the siebns.dat file, parameters that specify password values are masked when they are written to the file. You must reencrypt masked parameters after increasing the encryption level because otherwise the Siebel Server attempts to decrypt the encrypted password using the original encryption key and compares the result to the password entered. If this happens, then the Siebel Server writes an error to the keydbmgr.log log file. Table 8 lists the parameters that are encrypted in the siebns.dat file that must be reencrypted when you increase the encryption level. Most, but not all, of the masked parameters are Siebel Server parameters that can be changed using the Server Manager program. The following procedure describes how to reset encrypted parameters to use a new encryption level using Server Manager. NOTE: In Siebel CRM Innovation Pack 2014, passwords in the siebns.dat file are encrypted using AES encryption. If you are upgrading to the current release, reset encrypted passwords in the siebns.dat file so that they now use AES encryption. For additional information, see About Encryption of Gateway Name Server Password Parameters. To reset encrypted parameters to use a new encryption level using Server Manager
Table 8 lists the parameters that you must reencrypt if you increase the encryption level and indicates how you can reencrypt each parameter .
