About this task
DPAPI encryption provides another level of security for data such as credentials, IP addresses, and URLs in the MID Server config.xml file. The operating system performs the data encryption, rather than the MID Server. DPAPI encryption is based on the logged in user's account. When this scheme is used, the data can only be decrypted by the same user account. If the account changes, the data must be re-encrypted.
