Encrypting DX Transaction Files

Siebel Remote allows Mobile Web Clients to connect to a Siebel Server and exchange updated data and files during the synchronization process. The updated data is sent to or retrieved from the server in the form of .dx transaction files.

To protect your data, encrypt the .dx files using any suitable third-party utility, such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), when the files are removed from the \docking folder for any reason. To secure the .dx files within the \docking folder during run time, operating system-level encryption techniques can be used, for example, Microsoft Windows Encrypting File System, so that encryption and decryption are performed dynamically.

Caution: Implementing operating system-level encryption on the \docking folders can adversely affect data replication.
