When you use Forced Strong Key mode, check the settings are configured on both local and remote hosts as follows:
-
Encryption Scheme is set to "1" in the System Environment Settings on the host installed with HULFT8 Cipher Option (AES).
-
Forced Strong Key Mode is set to "1" in the System Environment Settings.
If you do not use Forced Strong Key mode, disable Forced Strong Key Mode in the System Environment Settings on both local host and remote host.
When a New Installation is performed, "0" is set for Forced Strong Key Mode in the System Environment Settings.
If the New Installation is performed with a product key that contains a HULFT8 Cipher Option (AES) license, you might change Forced Strong Key Mode to "1" in the System Environment Settings to use Forced Strong Key mode.
When an Update Installation is performed, you do not need to change Forced Strong Key Mode in the System Environment Settings because the value is carried over from the previous settings.
In either of the following conditions, the value for Forced Strong Key Mode is not carried over from the previous settings in the System Environment Settings. For the setting value, "0" is specified by default.
-
An Update Installation from a version lower than Ver.8.4.0 is performed
-
A Product Key Update is performed
After the installation, check the value of Forced Strong Key Mode.
