> Configuring Encryption on Unix
Change „use_encryption‟ variable in
$AUTOUSER/config.$AUTOSERV to 0/1/2
Use as_config utility to configure Instance Wide Encryption
and create cryptkey.txt in $AUTOUSER folder
Copy cryptkey.txt from $AUTOUSER folder to System
Agent folder if you want to use same Encryption key
