DataEncryption Configuration Parameters

The data encryption section contains settings that determines how IDOL Server encrypts your data.

IDOL Server uses 256-bit AES encryption. You turn on data encryption by setting AESKeyFile to the location of an AES key file.

When you enable encryption, the IDOL Content component encrypts:

  • document data in the index.
  • temporary data in the on-disk index cache.
  • value mapping files used by the parametric, match, and security indexes.
  • the term dictionary.
  • the unstemmed term tree.
  • the geospatial index.
  • any data sent with index actions that is stored in your index queue before processing.
  • stored state tokens that are generated when users run queries with StoreState=True (if StoredStateField has been set so that document references are used instead of document IDs).

You can determine the encryption status of your index by using the GetStatus action.

When you enable encryption, the IDOL View component encrypts its cache (containing documents that have been converted to HTML).
