Using IdentityIQ KeyStore
Note: Make sure to store copies of the iiq.dat and iiq.cfg files in a safe place. When you upgrade or reinstall IdentityIQ, the files are readily available to be restored.
Note: Make sure that the file permissions are set to allow access only by the application server that runs IdentityIQ.
In a standard installation of IdentityIQ, passwords are all encrypted using the same encryption secret. Encrypted passwords used in one installation can be reused (decrypted) by any other installation of IdentityIQ. The keystore feature enables the use of a site specific key. With the keystore feature enabled, a password used on one site cannot be decrypted on another site without having the site specific encryption keys.
