New Notification Services Instance (Encryption)

Use to provide a key for encrypting event provider and delivery channel argument values, which might contain passwords and other sensitive data, before storing them in the database. To use argument encryption, the EncryptArguments value in the instance configuration file (ICF) must be true.

Options

  • Argument key
    If the EncryptArguments value is true in the ICF, you must enter the encryption key in this box. The encryption key is a string of up to 2500 characters.

    If the instance is registered, the encryption key entered must match the encryption key used when registering the instance. If the encryption keys do not match, the instance will not start.

    If the EncryptArguments value is false or is not set, the Argument key box is not enabled.
