Loading Encryption Libraries

Access the Load Encryption Libraries page (PeopleTools > Security > Encryption > Load Encryption Libraries).

Field or Control	Definition
Library File	Enter the filename of the selected encryption library for your operating system platform. The names of the delivered OpenSSL and PGP library files depend on the operating system platform where your application is installed. Following are the encryption library filenames for each supported platform: Microsoft Windows OpenSSL: `pspetssl.dll` PGP: `pspetpgp.dll` Red Hat Linux OpenSSL: `libpspetssl.so` Sun Solaris OpenSSL: `libpspetssl.so` HP Tru64 Unix OpenSSL: `libpspetssl.so` HP-UX OpenSSL: `libpspetssl.sl` IBM AIX OpenSSL: `libpspetssl.a`
Load Library	Click to load the specified encryption library. Each algorithm provided by the library appears in its own row with its algorithm ID. Its parameters each appear in a row, displaying the parameter's name and its default value. If the From Keyset check box is selected, the parameter represents an encryption key. The PeopleSoft Encryption Technology facility uses the parameter's value to access the encryption key from the PET keystore. Important! If the library you specify fails to load, you must sign out of your application, then shut down and restart the application server before signing back in. Note: You must create a valid openssl.cnf file before you load the PSPETSSL encryption libraries or the system removes the pkcs7 routines from the list of loaded encryption libraries. Note: When running multiple PS_HOME application server directories against the same database, each PS_HOME OpenSSL and PGP libraries and settings must be configured identically.

Library File

Enter the filename of the selected encryption library for your operating system platform. The names of the delivered OpenSSL and PGP library files depend on the operating system platform where your application is installed.

Following are the encryption library filenames for each supported platform:

Microsoft Windows
OpenSSL: pspetssl.dll

PGP: pspetpgp.dll
Red Hat Linux
OpenSSL: libpspetssl.so
Sun Solaris
OpenSSL: libpspetssl.so
HP Tru64 Unix
OpenSSL: libpspetssl.so
HP-UX
OpenSSL: libpspetssl.sl
IBM AIX
OpenSSL: libpspetssl.a

Load Library

Click to load the specified encryption library.

Each algorithm provided by the library appears in its own row with its algorithm ID. Its parameters each appear in a row, displaying the parameter's name and its default value.

If the From Keyset check box is selected, the parameter represents an encryption key. The PeopleSoft Encryption Technology facility uses the parameter's value to access the encryption key from the PET keystore.

Important! If the library you specify fails to load, you must sign out of your application, then shut down and restart the application server before signing back in.

Note: You must create a valid openssl.cnf file before you load the PSPETSSL encryption libraries or the system removes the pkcs7 routines from the list of loaded encryption libraries.

Note: When running multiple PS_HOME application server directories against the same database, each PS_HOME OpenSSL and PGP libraries and settings must be configured identically.
