Prerequisites

Before you can use site keys for encryption, you must:

• Define the EnterpriseOne Security Server name and port in the Server Manager Console. This identifies the JDE.INI file where the site key value resides. Regardless of whether the Security Server is running, the Server Manager agent will retrieve the site key values for the encryption of sensitive data. See "Specify the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Used for User Authentication" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server Manager Guide.

• Ensure that the Security Server is running JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2 or higher.

Caution: The Security Server must be defined in the Server Manager Console and the SITEKEY must be configured in Security Server jde.ini for the encryption of sensitive data to occur. Otherwise, passwords in the INI files will not be encrypted and will appear as plain text. Also, all servers managed by an instance of Server Manager must use the same site key. For example, if you want to have a production environment with servers that use one site key and a test environment with servers that use a different site key, then you would need to install two separate Server Manager Consoles, one for all servers in the production environment and one for all servers in the test environment.
