# Configure IDOL Site Admin to Use OEM Encyption

In an OEM environment, IDOL components use OEM encryption to communicate.

You can configure IDOL Site Admin to use OEM encryption to communicate with the IDOL Community component and the Coordinator component.

## Start IDOL Site Admin in OEM Encryption Mode

The following example shows you how to set up OEM encryption in your IDOL Site Admin system properties.

To configure IDOL Site Admin to use OEM Encryption

- Start IDOL Site Admin with the Java run command, and include the following arguments:

      -Didol.idolsiteadmin.oemEncryptionKey=oem_encryption_key

  where,

  `oem_encryption_key` | is your OEM encryption key string.

  For example:

      java -Didol.idolsiteadmin.oemEncryptionKey=MjR8CJCUGcb4RbRdNDKbK9RXX3pEswAiZ -Didol.idolsiteadmin.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=8443 -jar siteadmin.jar -uriEncoding utf-8

If you run IDOL Site Admin as a service on Windows, you can also add the same arguments to the `siteadmin.xml` file.

If you run IDOL Site Admin as a service on Linux, you can add the argument to the existing arguments variable in `siteadmin.sh` for SysV, or `siteadmin.conf` for Upstart.

When you modify the IDOL Site Admin configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart IDOL Site Admin to apply your configuration changes.

For more information on installing and running IDOL Site Admin as a service on Windows or Linux, see Install IDOL Site Admin.

After you start IDOL Site Admin, you can configure the details of your IDOL components on the settings page in the usual way. See Configure IDOL Site Admin.
