Configure Encryption for a Cache

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition.

Encryption for a cache can be configured in the following way:

Using NCache Web Manager

For an existing cache, encryption can be enabled in the following steps:

• Launch NCache Web Manager by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or <server-ip>:8251 on Windows and Linux.

• In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache to which the encryption will be added. Against the cache name, click on View Details.

• This opens up the detailed configuration page for the cache. Go to the Advanced Settings tab and click on Security and Encryption in the left bar.

• Under Encryption, check the Enable Encryption checkbox to enable encryption.

• Select the encryption provider as per your requirement from the given Providers dropdown list.

• Enter the encryption key in the Key text box. This is a 32 character key for a 256-bit encyption algorithm.

Note

Different encryption providers require different key lengths.

• Click on Save Changes to apply this configuration to the cache.

Note

Encryption can be enabled at the time of cache creation.
