How to define inter server communication keys

Under some circumtances DAF Engines located on different servers may need to communicate with each others.  Data transfered between servers are encrypted with a symmetric algorithm. It is necessary to define matching encryption keys for each server on each server member of the pool.

Each server has a local encryption key used to decrypt all incoming data. This same key must be used by other servers to encrypt data intended for this first server.

To define a server local key:

• Launch the DAF Configuration Tool
• Right click on [Server Pool Communication Keys]

             Server P3BI5501 Local key

• Right click on [LocalHost (All Local IPs)]
• Choose [Set Password]
• Enter a password, confirm and press [OK]

To define a destination key on a server:

• Launch the DAF Configuration Tool
• Right click on [Server Pool Communication Keys]
• Choose [Add Server...]
• Type in the destination Server Name and its IP Address
• Type in local key defined on the destination server
