Short Description:

Symmetric Encryption Algorithm for SSF

Valid Releases:

All

Description:

This parameter contains the symmetric encryption algorithm to use with the SSF functions. The symmetric encryption algorithm is used, for example, when creating digital envelopes.

Note that you must specify an algorithm that is supported by the security product that you use.

Default:

DES-CBC

Valid entries, formats:

DES-CBC, TRIPLE-DES, IDEA

For other supported algorithms, see your security product’s documentation.

Note

You can only define the parameters for additional products on the application servers.
