Configure the Agentry Server public/private key length.
This procedure defines the process for setting the Agentry Server public/private
key length. The default key length is 512. In many environments this must be
increased to meet security requirements. This procedure describes the process for
changing this behavior.
- If the SAP Mobile Server is currently running, shut it
down.
- Navigate to the installation directory of the Agentry Server and open the
Agentry.ini file in a standard text editor.
- Locate the section within the file named [Server]. Here,
either modify the setting publicKeyLength by setting the value
to the desired key length; or if the setting is not present add it to the this
section with the value of the desired key length.
The following is an example of how this setting might
appear:
[Server]
publicKeyLength=2048
- Save and close the Agentry.ini file. At this point, if the
Agentry Server has never before been started, there are not further actions
necessary. If the Agentry Server has been started previously, or if you are
unsure as to whether or not it has been started previously, continue with this
procedure.
- Open a Windows command prompt as an administrator and navigate
to the installation directory of the SAP Mobile Server.
- Run the following command:
SMP_HOME\Servers\AgentryKeyUtility
-deleteKey
This command deletes any public/private key pair created by the Agentry
Server. The next time the Agentry Server is started the Agentry Server
creates a new public/private key with a key length matching the one set
earlier in this procedure.
The Agentry Server has been configured to generate its public/private key pair using
the new key length.

If this change has been made to a live production environment, mobile users must
reset the Agentry Clients, including the removal of all data stored locally on the
client device, and perform a full transmit with the Agentry Server.
