Unlocking the Secure Vault
You can unlock and change the password for the secure vault in the Configure > Security > Secure Vault page.
The secure vault contains sensitive information from your Mobile Controller configuration, including SSL private keys. 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 Mobile Controller software, which allows the Mobile Controller to automatically unlock the vault during system startup. You can change the password, but when you do, the secure vault does not automatically unlock on startup. To optimize SSL connections, the secure vault must be unlocked.
