Enabling encryption in Content Manager OnDemand application groups

You can determine and configure which Content Manager OnDemand application groups that you want to enable for use with encryption. Keep in mind that only new data will be encrypted; it is not possible to encrypt existing data without retrieving and reloading such data.

To enable encryption for an application group, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to the OnDemand Administrator client.
  2. Double-click Application Groups in the left panel.
  3. Right-click the application group you want to enable, then click Update.
  4. On the General tab, click the Advanced… button.
  5. Click the Yes radio button in the Encryption section under the Encrypt physical documents at rest? heading.
  6. Click OK on the Database Information panel, but do not click OK to update the application group yet.

You then must add an Encryption field to the application group. The field must have data type of Small Int (2), and the Encryption checkbox must be selected.

While still in update mode in the application group, add an Encryption field to the application group by following these steps:
  1. Click the Field Definition tab.
  2. Enter a name for your Encryption field in the Database Field Name field, such as ENCRYPT.
  3. Click the Add button to add the Encryption field to the Names List.
  4. Click the Field Information tab.
  5. Click the down arrow of the Name field and select the Encryption field.
  6. Set the Type field to Filter and the Data Type to Small Int (2).
  7. Click to select the Encryption checkbox.
  8. Click OK to update the application group.

Encryption is now enabled for your application group.
