Encrypting sensitive values in configuration files

All the string values (surrounded by ") described within the configuration files can be ciphered. To cipher a value, tag the value by writing {makecipher} at the beginning of the value. E.g.:

{makecipher}databaseconnectionstring

When the application starts, this tag and the value will be replaced by the tag {cipher} and the encrypted value. E.g.:

{cipher}ciphereddatabaseconnectionstring

Warning

It is highly recommended that you do this with all values that should not be saved in clear text within the configuration files.

Warning

Double Quotes (") within the value are not supported by now.

Note

Following properties are automatically encrypted when configuration is saved: password, connectionstring, clientsecret, sharedsecret, instrumentationkey, eventcollectortoken. For adapting these properties, refer to Configuration Secret Properties
