Thread edb server encryption

I have changed the encryption password for the elevatedb server, and it has
been running for weeks now.  I want to know if  the edbserver, after the
initial running of the application still uses the .ini file.  I am thinking
of encrypting the ini file after the initial run, so I could  hide it from
others with access to the server computer.  I would decrypt the ini if I
need to reboot the edbserver.  Will this work?

Thanks.

No, it just loads the settings once during startup, and then leaves it alone
unless you modify the configuration from within the server UI.

Are you thinking of adding this as code to the ElevateDB Server ?  If so,
then yes, that will work as long as you automate it.  I wouldn't recommend
doing it manually every time.

Yes thanks, we will automate decryption before server runs and encryption
after loading.
