16 If you are installing a component that makes a direct connection to the message bus or if you
are installing the Communication Server, specify how to obtain the shared message bus
encryption key:
All components connecting directly to the message bus must share the same encryption key.
Novell recommends that you generate a random encryption key when you install the
Communication Server and import this key when you install components on other machines.
Components that connect through the proxy do not require the shared message bus encryption
key.
