You can unlock and change the password for the secure vault under Administration > Security: Secure Vault. The secure vault stores sensitive elements of the SCC configuration, such as SSL private keys and the RiOS data store encryption key. This data is always encrypted on disk using AES 256-bit encryption.

By default, the secure vault uses a system-known password that allows it to unlock automatically during startup. However, if you change this password, the vault will no longer unlock automatically. In such cases, you must manually unlock the vault to enable SSL optimization or use RiOS data store encryption.These configuration options are available under Unlock Secure Vault:

Specifies a password. Click Unlock Secure Vault. Initially the secure vault is keyed with a default password known only to the RiOS software. This enables the system to automatically unlock the vault during system start up. You can change the password, but the secure vault doesn’t automatically unlock on startup. To optimize SSL connections or to use RiOS data store encryption, you must unlock the secure vault.

Unlocks the vault.
