Install the CAM and CAFT Encryption Key

Encryption is supported for Win32, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux x86 applications. The default and only available encryption algorithm is Triple-DES (168 bits key) with CBC mode.

To install the encryption key

1. Enter the following command at the command prompt to generate your key file:

   #PATH=`cat /etc/catngcampath`/bin:$PATH
   

   	#export PATH
   #caftkey -g keyfile password
   

   keyfile

   Name that you assign to the key file.

   password

   Password that you assign to the key file.

   Note: The caftkey command and attributes are the same for Win32 platforms.

2. Install your Public Key on both CAFT Agent and CAFT Admin boxes using the previously-generated key file by entering the following command at the command prompt:

   #PATH=`cat /etc/catngcampath`/bin:$PATH
   	#export PATH
   #caftkey -policy_setting keyfile password
   

   keyfile and password

   The values that you specified in Step 1.

   -Policy_setting

   -i, -m, or blank.

3. Recycle the CAM Service on each box where you installed the new Key by stopping the CAM service, and starting it again:

   prompt> camclose              //stop Cam/Caft service and processes
   prompt> cam start             //start CAM service and process
