The Profile.xml file, used by the Configuration Utility, contains passwords and other data about your network environment. To protect this data, each profile created or edited by the Configuration Utility is encrypted (with a password that you supply).
When configuring a system, if the profile is not encrypted yet, you must define a password in the Profile Encryption window.
To encrypt the profile:
After the profile is encrypted, this window will show each time that you use the Configure via Windows option of the Configuration Utility.
To use the encrypted profile, you must enter the password used during encryption and then click OK. Alternatively, you can click Overwrite. If you do this, the Profile.xml file is deleted and replaced with a new Profile.xml file that contains default settings.
