Secured Storage on the Probe

All sensitive information (such as the Confidential Manager communication and authentication configuration and the encryption key) is stored on the Probe in secure storage in the secured_storage.bin file, located in C:\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\conf\security. This secured storage is encrypted using DPAPI, which relies on the Windows user password in the encryption process. DPAPI is a standard method used to protect confidential data—such as certificates and private keys—on Windows systems. The Probe should always run under the same Windows user, so that even if the password is changed, the Probe can still read the information stored in secure storage.
