Process of Configuring Secure Communications

This topic describes how to set up encryption for communication between components in the Siebel environment. Encryption can be configured for data traffic between the Web server, Siebel Server, and Siebel Web Client.

To configure secure communications in your Siebel environment, perform the following tasks, as appropriate for your environment:

• Installing Certificate Files

• Configuring TLS Mutual Authentication for SHA-2 Certificates Using EAI HTTP Transport

• Configuring TLS Encryption for Siebel Enterprise or Siebel Server

• Configuring TLS Encryption for Siebel Application Interface

• Enabling SSL Acceleration for Application Interface/Enabling HTTP

• Configuring Encryption for Mobile Web Client Synchronization

The encryption options described in this topic are not used to encrypt data in the database. For information about data encryption, see About Data Encryption. Also, these encryption options are not used for communications with the database; for such encryption, check with your database vendor.
