Default changing 'Encryption Algorythim'

Please Login to Remove!

anyone ever change from 3DES to 3DES and AES. I have BES 4.1.4 and I need to change this setting, will the users experience any down time? the description looks a little scarey, says users might have to reconnect or REACTIVATE!?

any help !?

Users will need to regenerate their encryption keys from their hand held if you change the level of encryption at the server. You feel 3DES is not strong enough?

Default didnt have to do anything

All my handhelds are 4.0 handheld code or better, so I didnt have to have the users regenerate manually, the handhelds just went about thier business.. nice !

Im switching from 3DES to 3DES and AES because I want to allow the users to decide and have had some questions about when we would be allowing AES.. now that its in im noticing the handhelds are using it en mass !

I have done the exact same thing and it was transparent to all the users
Take a look at KB13160 for more information.
