# SecurityInfoKeys

The security keys that IDOL Community Component uses to encrypt and decrypt the security information that it uses for user security.

To use AES encryption (recommended), set `SecurityInfoKeys` to the file name and path of the AES key file. IDOL Community Component then uses this key file to encrypt and decrypt the tokens. For information about how to create a key file, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.

For older systems that use TEA encryption, set `SecurityInfoKeys` to four signed 32-bit integers (between `0` and `2147483647`), separated with commas. There must be no space before or after the commas.

You must always change `SecurityInfoKeys` from the value in the default configuration file when you install IDOL Community Component.

NOTE: You must set `SecurityInfoKeys` to the same value that you use for all other components that use an AES key file or four-number security identifier.

In cases where you use a DAH in an IDOL Server unified configuration, and you use the user security encryption keys, you must configure `SecurityInfoKeys` in both the `[Security]` and `[DistributionSettings]` sections of the IDOL Server configuration file.
