Configuring P6 Professional to Use an External Keystore

If you use a Cloud Connect alias to connect P6 Professional to the EPPM database, the encryption key is accessed server side when the application caches the keystore during initialization. Therefore, when you connect to an EPPM database using Cloud Connect no additional configuration is required to allow P6 Professional to use the external key.

If you use a database direct connection alias to connect P6 Professional to the EPPM database, the alias must be configured to use the new encryption key.

To configure a P6 Professional alias to use an external encryption key you must:

Export the key for your P6 EPPM environment from the server-side keystore.
See: Exporting the Key from P6 EPPM
Configure an alias to use the encryption key.
