# Configure Site Admin to Use OEM Encyption

In an OEM environment, Knowledge Discovery components use OEM encryption to communicate.

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

## Start Site Admin in OEM Encryption Mode

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

To configure Site Admin to use OEM Encryption

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

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

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

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

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