Generate a Site Key

Important: As a Post Deployment task for the Deployment Server, you must generate a Site Key prior to running the Platform Pack to create an Enterprise Server.

Starting with EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2, the EnterpriseOne encryption system uses a Site Key to add a higher level of security for sensitive data stored in configuration files and databases. The Site Key is combined with other values to create an AES key. The encryption system then uses the AES key to encrypt individual data items. Encryption using AES is the industry-standard for achieving a highly secure encryption.

The Site Key values are not stored in the program code. Because Site Keys are stored and encrypted in the JDE.INI file, each customer has their own Site Key, which provides a higher level of security.

Caution: You must set a Site Key value before Site Key can begin encrypting your sensitive data that are entered through Server Manager.
