Encryption

The program uses Microsoft Data Protection API to add a layer of security to sensitive information that is stored in the ConfigPath. Encryption is turned on by default, but may be turned off at will, for example when you want to migrate to another machine or want to load balance.

Save the desired encryption setting in settings.json.

  • In the main menu pick More options... > Encrypt/decrypt configuration
