A symmetric encryption key is 55 characters long. sechkey automatically truncates longer keys and pads out shorter keys.
When you use sechkey to change an encryption key, sechkey changes the key in all programs in the CA ControlMinder database at once. When sechkey changes the symmetric key or symmetric encryption method, it decrypts then re-encrypts the following:
In addition, whenever you use a CA ControlMinder API to create a program that communicates with CA ControlMinder, the communication for the new program is encrypted with the same key.
