We are trying to improve safety by adding encryption to communication between acuthin and acurcl in a linux environment.

I have included two new lines in the runtime configuration file given in the acurcl.ini file:

<Alias>
<rcl:Alias-Name>661der3</rcl:Alias-Name>
<rcl:Cobol-Program>/home/PGMG/A01LI.COB</rcl:Cobol-Program>
<rcl:Configuration-File>/home/D/XYZ/CONFIG.LINUXWIN</rcl:Configuration-File>
<rcl:Working-Directory>/home/D/XYZ</rcl:Working-Directory>
</Alias>

The two lines added to CONFIG.LINUXWIN are:

THIN_CLIENT_ENCRYPT  1
EXCRYPTION_SEED  ABCDEFG

Is it the right place? I read something about client.cfg, but we use different configuration files for each alias.

How do I test that encryption is working?

You could inspect the stream using a tool like WireShark.
