Enabling Encryption for Synchronization Networking

To use encryption, both the server and the client must enforce encryption in their connection parameters. If these parameters do not match, connection errors will occur.

• For the server, set the Encryption Type parameter for the Synchronization Manager server component to MSCRYPTO or RSA. For information about these encryption types, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

  You can use the Server Manager command line or the Administration - Server Configuration screen to set the Encryption Type parameter. For Server Manager, the appropriate command for using RSA encryption is as follows:

  srvrmgr> change param Crypt=RSA for comp SynchMgr

  After setting the parameter, you must restart the Synchronization Manager.

• For the client, encryption is the fifth parameter in the DockConnString for the local database that is defined in the application's .cfg file on the Mobile Web Client. Override the default NONE with MSCRYPTO or RSA. You may use either AASRVR:TCPIP:40400:SMI:MSCRYPTO or RSA, or APPSRV::::MSCRYPTO or RSA.

Siebel eBusiness Applications use MSCRYPTO or RSA to encrypt data traffic between the server and the Mobile Web Client. It is configured at the component level for replication with these clients and the server. It is not used to encrypt the local database nor the data in it. Also, it is not used for communication with the database.

NOTE:  Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is not a supported encryption method for synchronization.
