Where is the key stored for the encryption when using FSM? Only in the Manager or also in the adapter?


Resolution

Encryption keys are generated at the adapter manager and cached at the adapters. By design, the adapters (once configured) can operate in a completely disconnected environment. The adapters live off the cached keys.
