    • By default, the MID Server login credentials are encrypted in the config.xml file.

    When editing the config.xml file and supplying the password, ensure that the encrypt="true" attribute exists, using the following syntax:

    <parameter name="MID.instance.username" value="MIDsrvadmin" />

    <parameter name="MID.instance.password" secure="true" value="$ECUREpassw0rd"/>

    Note:
    Encrypting MID Server login Credentials does not substitute insecure server host with poor physical and network security. The password stored in the config.xml file is encrypted when you first start the MID Server, or, if it is an existing MID Server, on restart.
