A client receives data from an MPX-enabled server configuration over one of two paths:
The encryption level for data sent directly from the server is specified on the Server Properties dialog box for each individual server configuration. It is possible to have no encryption set for this data path. See the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client online help for more information on setting encryption levels for a server configuration.
All data sent by the transmitters orMPX Cache Agents is encrypted. Each MPX Event Transmitter has its own encryption key. When the server configuration starts a MPX Event Transmitter, it creates a unique encryption key for that instance of the MPX Event Transmitter. When a client opens a project, the server configuration sends the client the MPX Event Transmitter encryption key directly. The client will have one encryption key for each MPX-enabled server configuration it is accessing.
All files and objects sent by the MPX File Transmitter are encrypted. The content is stored in encrypted format by MPX Cache Agents and decrypted only “at the last moment” within the client process.
