Encrypting values

The Configuration Tool CLI provides the encrypt command that encrypts a value. This feature enables you to encrypt sensitive data, such as passwords, to use in a settings file.

If the value to be encrypted contains spaces, then the value must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").

The encrypt command is shown in the following sample.

DAST.ConfigurationToolCLI.exe encrypt "<string>"

The encrypted value is logged to the console as "encrypt result: {encrypted value}".
