Encrypting values

Whenever you need to encrypt values, we recommend that you add and encrypt variables in a temporary OU, and then copy the encrypted values to their target position.

1. In the Scout Console, create a temporary OU such as TEMP.

2. For the TEMP OU, from the context menu, choose Advanced device configuration > Environment.

3. Add a new variable and its value. Confirm with OK.

   

   The new variable and its value is shown in the Environment tab.

4. On the Environment tab, right-click the variable, and from the context menu, choose Encrypt value.

   The value of the variable is shown in encrypted mode.

5. Select the variable and click Edit. Then, copy the encrypted value to the Clipboard and paste it on the target position.
6. Delete the temporary OU.
