Secret.Key File - What is it?

Hey All,

 

I am looking to get some context on what the secret.key file is that sits in the ac_work folder.  My understanding is that it is an encrypted file that holds sensitive information around password values.  But I was hoping someone could be more specific. Is this all user name and passwords?  Does it hold other sensitive information?  In what ways would deleting this file disrupt Connect's performance? 

 

I couldn't find any online documentation around this.  Please feel free to share links if you know of any pages that exist. 

 

Best,

Sean

Hello,

The secret.key file in the ac_work folder is an encrypted file that contains sensitive information such as username and password values. Deleting it could disrupt Connect's performance, and there is no official documentation available online.
