Enabling Encryption Between the Web Server and Siebel Server

Siebel Business Applications components communicate over the network using a Siebel TCP/IP-based protocol called SISNAPI (Siebel Internet Session API). You have the option to secure SISNAPI using SSL, TLS, or embedded encryption from RSA or Microsoft Crypto APIs. These technologies allow data to be transmitted securely between the Web server and the Siebel Server. For additional information, see Siebel Security Guide.

NOTE:  It is recommended that you implement TLS encryption for Web server and Siebel Server communications where possible.
