Changing the encryption algorithm

This topic describes how to change the algorithm used to encrypt communications between IBM Director Server and IBM Director Agent. When you change the algorithm, new encryption keys are sent to all managed systems. Encryption must be enabled previously.

  2. In the Encryption Suites group box of the Encryption Administration window, select the encryption algorithm that you want to use.
  3. Click OK.
  4. In the Warning window, click Yes. The keys are sent to all managed systems.
  5. In the Encryption Administration Success window, click OK to confirm that the encryption algorithm is changed and the keys are being synchronized.
