You can encrypt database connection string of the appsettings.json file in the Hyland IdP server installation directory using the Hyland Application Settings Utility command line interface in Windows.

Before you begin, ensure that you have Hyland IdP 4.2, or a later version installed to be able to login to the Hyland IdP Administration client with an encrypted database connection string.

To encrypt database connection string in the Hyland IdP server installation directory:

  1. Install the latest version of Hyland Application Settings Utility on a Windows 64-bit workstation.
  2. Launch Windows Powershell in administrator mode and navigate to the directory where the Hyland.Application.Settings.Utility.exe file is placed.
  3. Run the command: .\Hyland.Application.Settings.Utility.exe write -a "C:\Program Files\Hyland\identityprovider" --file "config\appsettings.json" -p TokenStoreDb:ConnectionString --encrypt --inline
    Note: For the command to run successfully, ensure that the Hyland IdP configuration file is installed at the default location, C:\Program Files\Hyland\identityprovider.
