### RC4 Setting

Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) is a stream cipher that protects confidential data messages sent to and from secure URLs. However, RC4 has multiple vulnerabilities and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) recommendation is to disable it.

By default, RC4 is enabled. Enabling or disabling this option may impact presence and ongoing chats, so change this setting outside of business hours. To change the setting:

- Clear the box to disable or check the box to enable.

- Click Save RC4 Setting.

NOTE: If MBG is acting as a gateway for connections from a MiCollab server, there may be a requirement to enable RC4.
