# EncryptionAESKey

The encrypted encryption key to encode user passwords.

You can create an encryption key to encode user passwords by using the `Autpassword` command-line tool. Then you can encrypt this key again to write it securely into the configuration file. Only the Community component can decrypt this key; it then performs encryption with it.

If you do not define `EncryptionAESKey`, the Community component encrypts user passwords with a default encryption key. However, OpenText recommends that you generate your own key.

For details on how to use the `Autpassword` tool to encrypt passwords and password keys, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Administration Guide.
