Encrypting the Configuration File

It is possible to prevent the user from seeing the user password in ctree.conf by using configuration files that are encrypted. The typical configuration files in XML format can be encrypted using the ctutil command cryptconf. Usage:

ctutil -cryptconf config_file output_file

Notice: For security reasons, FairCom does not provide a way to decrypt an encrypted configuration file. Hence, it is advisable to maintain a “clear text” version of ctree.conf in a safe place for future reference.
