Configuring Encryption for the Local Database Password
This task is a step in Process of Configuring Encryption and Authentication for the Remote Client.
To add a layer of security, encryption removes the relationship that exists between the password that Siebel Remote stores in the local database and the unencrypted password that the user enters. You can configure RSA SHA-1 encryption, which is a one-way hashing algorithm. Siebel Remote applies this algorithm to the local database password before it sends this password to the local database for authentication. Siebel Remote uses the security adapter on the remote client to encrypt the local database password. You must configure the Siebel Server and the remote client to encrypt the local database password.
