Encryption of email provider key values​

3-tier IAM in the Universal GUI main administrator

3-TIER ONLY

Encryption is only available in a 3-tier setup, where the Software Factory and IAM are used in the Universal GUI. It is not available for the Software Factory and IAM for the 2-tier Windows or Web GUIs because it requires Indicium support and configuration.

When you are working in a 3-tier environment, we advise you to encrypt the key values of your email providers in the database. The default for your email providers is set in the Software Factory. See Encryption for a branch.

To configure the email provider encryption:

menu Settings > Global settings > tab Email providers

Here you can:

  • set key values Set email provider key values (encrypted) - Set encrypted key values for your email provider.
  • reset key values Reset encrypted key values - Reset the encrypted key values. You may need to add unencrypted key values here afterward to ensure that the email provider keeps working.
