About Workplace XT security

Workplace XT security includes user credentials protection and a configuration option for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

User credentials security

Workplace XT can send or receive encrypted user credentials to or from other applications, such as Application Integration. Encrypted credentials are passed between applications in the form of a user token.

The use of user tokens is dependent on the existence of a crypto keyfile. During Workplace XT installation, the administrator can specify how many keys are created in this crypto keyfile and whether the keys are limited strength (128-bit) or maximum strength (448-bit).

Workplace XT can be configured during installation to accept and generate user tokens.

SSL security

You can configure SSL in the environment in one of two ways:
  • A single Workplace XT server, where all of the software is running under SSL.
  • Two Workplace XT servers, where one is SSL-enabled, and the other redirects users to the SSL-enabled Workplace XT server to log on and to set site preferences.

You configure SSL security during Workplace XT setup. For instructions, see Setting up SSL security for Workplace XT.
