Changing the Encryption Algorithm

You can change the encryption algorithm associated with a particular rule if your administrator has specified various options for that rule.

You need to stop any running applications, and reload the Netlet applet window for the change to take effect. For example, if you have some telnet sessions running, and you want to change the encryption algorithm:

To Change the Encryption Algorithm

  1. Login to the Sun Java System Portal Server, Secure Remote Access Desktop.
  2. Scroll down to the Netlet provider channel.
  3. Click the Edit button at the top right corner of the Netlet channel.
  4. The page where you can edit the Netlet target appears.

  5. Scroll down to the required rule under Change algorithm.
  6. Select the required algorithm.
  7. You may specify multiple algorithms for each rule.

    If your browser uses Java1 VM (supports Netscape 4.x or IE using Microsoft VM) , select an algorithm starting with KSSL_

    If your browser uses Java2 VM (supports JSSE), select an algorithm not starting with KSSL_.

    If you do not select an algorithm, the default encryption algorithm is used.

  8. Click Finished.
  9. You are returned to the Desktop, and the specified algorithm is used for encryption henceforth.
