| 34 | The settings password is used for certain settings which need to
|
|---|
| 35 | be stored in encrypted form for security reasons. At the moment,
|
|---|
| 36 | the only encrypted setting is the iSCSI initiator secret, see
|
|---|
| 37 | <xref href="vboxmanage-storageattach.dita"/>. As long as no
|
|---|
| 38 | settings password is specified, this information is stored in
|
|---|
| 39 | <i>plain text</i>. After using the
|
|---|
| 40 | <!--option not processed within -->--settingspw|--settingspwfile option once, it
|
|---|
| 41 | must be always used. Otherwise, the encrypted setting cannot be
|
|---|
| 42 | unencrypted.
