To encrypt a configuration file:
1. (Optional) Place your configuration file in the same folder as the openssl
executable file. If the configuration file is not in the same folder as the openssl
executable file, you can enter a relative pathname for the [infile] in the next step.
2. On the openssl command line, type:
enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:[passphrase123456] -in [infile] -out [outfile] -nosalt -p
Elements in brackets are examples—do not enter the brackets. Enter a 16-character
passphrase and the unencrypted configuration file filename (the "infile") and a name
for the encrypted file ("outfile") that will result.
To enable configuration file decryption:
1. On the WebUI, click Servicing > Provisioning.
2. On the Provisioning page under Resynchronization, select Use Encryption for
configuration file.
3. Enter the 16-character passphrase that you created when you encrypted the
configuration file.
4. Click Save.
NOTE: You must ensure that configuration files are encrypted when enabling AES
Encryption. Decrypting an unencrypted file will result in a garbage file that is not
processed. This will also be logged as an error in the system log.
