Configuring secure vault settings
You can unlock and change the password for the secure vault under Settings > Security: Secure Vault.
The secure vault contains sensitive information from your Core configuration, including SSL private keys and the data store encryption key. These configuration settings are encrypted on the disk at all times, using AES 256-bit encryption.
Initially, the secure vault is keyed with a default password known only to the system. This password enables the system to automatically unlock the vault during system startup. You can change the password, but the secure vault does not automatically unlock upon startup. To manage SSL configuration on the Core and to unlock the secure stores on Edges, you must unlock the secure store.
To optimize SSL connections or to use datastore encryption, the secure vault must be unlocked.:
