Encrypt Key Field


This user property allows you to specify which encryption key to use.

Value

The value of this user property is the name of the field on the business component that contains the encryption key index.

Usage

The keyfile.bin file in the \Siebel_Root\Admin directory contains indexed encryption keys. The Encrypt Key Field user property specifies the field on the business component that contains the numbered encryption key index to use to decrypt the parent field.

For example, in the Quote business component, the Credit Card Number field is an encrypted field that contains credit card numbers. The Credit Card Number Key Index field contains the index of the encryption key that is used to decrypt the Credit Card Number field. Thus on the Credit Card Number field the Encrypt Key Field user property is set with a value of Credit Card Number Key Index.
