The Siebel Strong Encryption Package upgrades Siebel applications from 56-bit encryption to 128-bit encryption. This package includes an upgrade utility (keydbupgrade.exe) that decrypts the key database (which was encrypted with the 56-bit key) and then encrypts the key database with a new 128-bit key.

Before you install the Strong Encryption Package, perform the steps below.

Run the Key Database Manager (keydbmgr.exe) and change the keyfile password.
Install the Siebel Strong Encryption Package. Follow the installation instructions included with the package.
Run the keydbupgrade utility.
Use the srvrmgr program to update the database password for the Enterprise Server.
