You can use the Web Application Management Console to encrypt settings that apply to various web applications. When these settings are encrypted, information such as the username and password values cannot be viewed within the Web.config file. To determine if encryption is available for an application, see the documentation for that application.
To enable encryption, select the Encrypt [Application Name] or Encrypt Login Settings setting in the Web Application Management Console. For example, the setting for DocPop is named Encrypt DocPop, and it is located on the same tab as other DocPop settings. When this setting is applied and saved, information within the Hyland.Web.DocPop element is replaced with an EncryptedData element, where the encrypted settings are stored as the CipherValue.
To reverse the encryption, clear the Encrypt [Application Name] setting, and click Save.
Saving changes to the server application's Web.config file causes the respective web applications to restart. All users connected to the applications will lose their sessions.
