The encryption algorithms used by OnBase may change between different versions of the software. The Cryptography Settings dialog box allows you to define the minimum version of OnBase to ensure compatibility between encryption algorithms in mixed-version environments. You can also enforce a specific encryption suite to use in OnBase, which may affect the algorithms used or available for use.
The Cryptography Settings do not affect the encryption method used by Encrypted Disk Groups or Encrypted Alpha Keyword Types, but certain settings may affect which method of encryption to use for those elements of your solution. See Cryptography Settings Additional Considerations.
Changes to the encryption suite and version compatibility used by OnBase are made in the Cryptography Settings dialog box. In order to access the Cryptography Settings dialog box, the user logged in must have the following rights:
-
System Configuration configuration right (under General Settings)
-
Database Management product right (under Configuration)
To change the encryption suite used by OnBase and set the minimum version all clients must be upgraded to:
-
Select Utils | Cryptography from the OnBase Configuration module. The Cryptography Settings dialog box is displayed.
To analyze and convert the data affected by the cryptography settings saved, click Analyze Data. See Analyzing and Converting the Data Affected.
You cannot analyze and convert the data before saving your cryptography settings.
