Vault Facility
In the context of:
- ESCWA
-
ESCWA will attempt to use the Micro Focus Vault Facility by default. The Vault Facility enables you to store sensitive data in a secure form.
It is possible to explicitly disable the use of the Vault Facility from the ESCWA command line, or to specify an incorrect vault specification, which will result in the Vault Facility not being used. Micro Focus recommends that you use the Vault Facility for storing ESCWA's sensitive data.
- Directory Server
- A Directory Server from Enterprise Server version 8.0 or later will always attempt to use the Vault Facility by default. In addition, it will attempt to automatically migrate sensitive data values when it first starts.
