MicroStrategy ONE

Encrypting Session Information

You can control whether traffic between mobile devices, Mobile Server, and Intelligence Server is encrypted. By default, this data is not encrypted because encrypting the data increases the load on the Intelligence Server, which may result in reduced performance in Mobile.

To Determine How Session Information is Encrypted, Cached, and Stored

  1. Access the Mobile Server Administrator page.
    • In Windows: Choose Start > Programs > MicroStrategy Tools > Mobile Administrator. The Mobile Server Administrator web page opens.
    • In UNIX/Linux: After you deploy MicroStrategy Mobile Server Universal and log on to the mstrMobileAdmin servlet using proper credentials, the Mobile Server Administrator web page opens. The default location of the Administrator servlet varies depending on the platform that you are using.
  2. From the pane on the left, select Security. The Security page opens.
  3. In the Encryption area, select one of the following options:
    • AES Tunneling: Uses the AES encryption algorithm to secure data between Web and Intelligence Server.

      This option increases the load on the Intelligence Server and may result in reduced performance in MicroStrategy Web.

    • SSL: Uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to secure data between Mobile Server and Intelligence Server. This is the recommended option for secure communications. If you want Mobile Server to verify Intelligence Server's SSL certificate before setting up a connection, select Validate Intelligence Server certificate. For background information and instructions to set up SSL encryption for Web, see the System Administration Help.
  4. Click Save.
