Setting Up RSA Encryption
During the standard Siebel upgrade process, Release 6.x encrypted fields will migrate automatically to Siebel 7 without changing the encryption mechanism. In order to make use of the new RSA-encryption feature after upgrading to Siebel 7, you must enable RSA as a separate step outside of the upgrade process.
To switch from using Siebel's proprietary mechanism to RSA, follow the instructions for configuring RSA in Siebel Tools Reference. There is a script available to convert fields from Siebel's proprietary encryption to RSA.
NOTE: If you use RSA, it is critical that the RSA key file be stored securely and backed up frequently. See Siebel Server Administration Guide for information about creating, managing, distributing, and backing up the keys.
For general information regarding encryption, see Siebel Tools Reference and Siebel Server Administration Guide.
