Check Your Browser for AES Encryption
CC-SG supports AES-128 and AES-256. If you do not know if your
browser uses AES, check with the browser manufacturer.
You may also want to try navigating to the following web site using the
browser whose encryption method you want to check:
https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html
https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html
. This web site will detect your
browser's encryption method and display a report. Raritan is not affiliated
with this web site.
Note: Internet Explorer 6 does not support AES-128 or -256 encryption.
AES-256 Prerequisites and Supported Configurations
AES-256 encryption is supported on the following web browsers only:
Firefox 2.0.0.x and later
Internet Explorer 7
Note: Internet Explorer 7 supports AES-128 or -256 encryption in
Windows Vista only. It does not support any AES encryption in Windows
XP.
In addition to browser support, AES-256 encryption requires the
installation of Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength
Jurisdiction Policy Files 6.
To enable the AES-256 encryption with your browser
1. Download JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6 from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
(
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
).
2. Extract the files into your Java directory under
\lib\security\
.
For example,
C:\Program Files\Java 1.6.0\lib\security\
.
Require AES Encryption between Client and CC-SG
In Security Manager, you can configure CC-SG to require
AES-encryption for sessions between the client and the CC-SG server.
1. Choose Administration > Security.
2. Open the Encryption tab.
3. Select the Require AES Encryption between Client and Server
