Cúram cryptography relates to functionality for managing passwords and is covered in detail in the Cúram Security Handbook and you should consult it in consideration that:
- For production environments it is strongly recommended that you modify the default settings.
- For development and test environments you need to consider where the defaults provide acceptable protection in your environment.
- For users upgrading from a previous version of IBM Cúram Social Program Management, existing passwords will not work out-of-the-box. You can, if you are willing to accept a reduced level of security, at your own risk, choose to take the steps to leave existing system and user passwords as-is, but this is not recommended. More information about upgrading is available in the Cúram Upgrade Guide.
