Changing the Encryption Method for the CA Access Control Connector

If the CA Access Control Connector has to use an encryption method other than the default one to manage your CA Access Control systems, edit the following Windows registry entry on the Provisioning Server and set the value to the path name of the DLL for the new encryption method:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Identity Manager\Provisioning Server\NSOptions\ACC\eTrust Access Control SDKrt\Encryption Package

For example, you can change the value of the Encryption Package from C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Provisioning Server\etc\acc\defenc.dll for the default encryption to C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\ Provisioning Server\etc\acc\tripledesenc.dll for triple-DES encryption.

Note: The directory PS_HOME\Provisioning Server\etc\acc contains the encryption DLLs for the default encryption, DES encryption, triple-DES encryption, and AES encryption.

Important! Restart the Windows service C++ Connector Server after the encryption method is changed.
