My understanding is that ODBC goes through the ARAPI so yes, it honors encryption settings at the API level.

Or is that again something else, another product, another price?

Is this true? Standard (56-bit DES using CBC mode) encryption is part of AR System. There is no additional product needed for that level. You will need to purchase either Performance or Premium Encryption to increase the level of security for the API. You can see this on page 341 of the AR System 7.5.00 Configuring Guide: Encrypt-Data-Encryption-Algorithm An integer indicating the encryption algorithm of the data key. Use the following values. Standard Security ! 1—56-bit DES using CBC mode (default) Performance Security ! 2—128-bit RC4 key (default) ! 6—128-bit AES CBC key (FIPS noncompliant) ! 8—128-bit AES CBC key (FIPS compliant) Premium Security ! 3—2048-bit RC4 key (default) ! 7—256-bit AES CBC key (FIPS noncompliant) ! 9—256-bit AES CBC key (FIPS compliant) For more information, see the BMC Remedy Encryption Security Guide. Encrypt-Public-Key-Algorithm An integer indicating the encryption algorithm of the public key. Valid values are ! 4—512-bit RSA key (default for Standard Security) ! 5—1024-bit RSA key (default for Performance Security) ! 6—2048-bit RSA key (default for Premium Security) For more information, see the BMC Remedy Encryption Security Guide. -David J.

As well as between remedyweb interface and plugin server. I understand that the BMC Remedy Encryption can provide me the facility. Since the BMC third party plugins integration pdf talks about the BMC Remedy premium , i assume there is a basic version available. Is this true? I have searched through my /reemedy/java folders but could not find any. Am i right? The "Remedy 7.1.00 Integrating with Plugins and third party.pdf" says "To override the default Java API configuration, create the arsys_api.xml configuration file and make sure it is in the CLASSPATH environment variable or the java command -classpath command-line parameter. See the sample configuration file, arsys_sample.xml, in the lib directory for descriptions, valid values, and default values for the API configuration options" but i dont see any the arsys_api.xml or the arsys_sample.xml, file Thanks in advance Thanks and Regards Sibi _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net<mailto:rmisoluti...@verizon.net> ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net<mailto:rmisoluti...@verizon.net> ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ -- Patrick Zandi _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_
