protocol domain-auth encrypt-upgd
Changes the encryption algorithm for all service account passwords from Data Encryption Standard (DES) to Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Syntax
protocol domain-auth encrypt-upgd
Parameters
None
Usage
AES encryption adopts key lengths up to 256 bits, enhancing security and compliance capabilities.
Run this command in SteelHead 9.8.0 or later to enable AES for all existing service account passwords. You do not need to enable AES again for subsequent upgrades to later versions.
If you downgrade to SteelHead 9.7.0 or earlier, delete all service account users and add them again to revert to DES encryption.
This setting is disabled by default. Once enabled, you cannot disable AES.
