By default, iCC stores device configuration backups in plain text to the \server\data\cfgbak

(/server/data/cfgbak for Linux) directory of the IMC installation path. The configuration backups can be

viewed by any system user who has the privileges to the directory. To enhance security for the backups,
you can configure IMC to store them in cipher text.
To configure IMC to store device configuration backups in ciphertext on Windows:

1.

Open the qvdm.conf file with WordPad in the \IMC\server\conf directory of the IMC installation
path.

2.

Find the following parameter:

#flag indicate if the configuration file is encrypt stored, 1: encrypt; 0, plain text

#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 0

3.

Set the value of the EncryptConfigFileFlag parameter to 1:

#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 1

4.

Save and close the file.

5.

Restart the IMC service.

To configure IMC to store device configuration backups in ciphertext on Linux:

1.

Open the qvdm.conf file with the vi editor in the /IMC/server/conf directory of the IMC installation
path and press i to enter insert mode.

2.

Find the following parameter:

#flag indicate if the configuration file is encrypt stored, 1: encrypt; 0, plain text

#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 0

3.

Set the value of the EncryptConfigFileFlag parameter to 1:

#EncryptConfigFileFlag = 1

4.

Press Esc and then enter the wq command to save and close the file.

5.

Restart the IMC service.

With the configuration, IMC starts to store device configuration backups in ciphertext.
The configuration does not encrypt existing configuration backups.
If IMC is deployed in distributed mode, modify the qvdm.conf file only on servers that are deployed with
the iCC component.
