Encryption Settings for TDV Server
TDV uses a symmetric key to encrypt credentials and other sensitive data that is stored in the server databases. During the installation of TDV, the following property files are created in the specified location, with the encryption settings.
1. boot.properties - <InstallDir>/conf/
2. encryption.properties - <InstallDir>/conf/server/
It is important to note that, since the property files contain the encryption key information, it should not be exposed to end users. During TDV installation process, it sets a restricted permission to the files for this reason.
The files will be in the format specified below:
boot.properties
server.encryption.userKey=
encryption.properties
server.encryption.algorithm=AES
server.encryption.uuid=
server.encryption.keySize=128
server.encryption.userKey=
• The encryption algorithm used is AES.
• The default keySize is set to 128 bits.
• The uuid and the userKey values are generated for every instance of the TDV Server.
After the installation of TDV, manually backup these files to avoid loss of data during unforeseen system issues. Note that TDV support will need this backup (along with the password you used while creating the backup) in order to help with the issue.
