System configuration

Edge Data Store (EDS (Edge Data Store)) uses JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) configuration files in a protected directory on Windows and Linux to store configuration information that is read on startup. While the files are accessible to view, you use must REST (REpresentational State Transfer) or the EdgeCmd utility to make any changes to the files.

As part of making Edge Data Store as secure as possible, any passwords or secrets are stored in encrypted form with cryptographic key material stored separately in a secure location. Editing the files directly may cause unexpected behavior.

Note: Use REST (REpresentational State Transfer) to edit any single component or facet of the system or configure the system as a whole with a single REST (REpresentational State Transfer) call.
