   * [Target (instance) properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/iFq8uCLOEwkldQrG~hBsCA "The edgeencryption.properties configuration file located in the <installation directory>/conf/ folder contains properties used to configure your environment.")
   * [User account properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/iFq8uCLOEwkldQrG~hBsCA "The edgeencryption.properties configuration file located in the <installation directory>/conf/ folder contains properties used to configure your environment.")
