Enabling Encryption

After you enable encryption, you can encrypt any property value. By default, encryption is disabled.

1. Open the SMSBUILDER_HOME/conf/system.properties file.
2. Uncomment this line, and replace samplesecret with a new value for decryptionkey:

   # com.sybase365.arf.container.system.decryptionkey=samplesecret

3. (Optional) Uncomment this line, and set decryptionkeylength to a higher value, for example, 256 or 512, and save the file:

   # com.sybase365.arf.container.system.decryptionkeylength=128

   • If the line remains commented out, the default value, 128, is used.
   • If you uncomment the line, and set the value to 256 or higher, you must install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html. Do not set the decrpytion key length to a value greater than 2048.
4. Stop and restart the server.
