Customize Remote Agent's encryption key
Customize Remote Agent's encryption key in order to increase the security of remote management.
Before you begin this task, Remote Agent must be installed and running on the target device and security
must be enabled.
When you enable security in Remote Agent, connections between the project development application and the
target device are automatically encrypted. This prevents third-party programs from intercepting projects or
sending unauthorized Run/Stop commands to the target device
By default, Remote Agent uses a built-in encryption key that should be secure enough for most situations.
You may want to customize the key, however, because the more unique the key is, the more secure the
connection will be.
To customize the key:
1. Determine what you want the key to be.
It does not matter what the key actually is, because it is automatically shared between Remote Agent and
the project development application. As such, you can use an online GUID generator to generate a suitable
key.
2. On the target device, exit Remote Agent.
3. Edit the Remote Agent initialization file.
