DSS Security Configuration File

The security settings of a Decentralized Software Services (DSS) runtime can be configured using a security configuration file as described in the topic DSS Node Security Model. The specific security configuration file to use can be set using the application configuration file. To do this, open the Application Configuration file and look for the section named appSettings and identify the line containing a key named Security:

  <appSettings>
    <add key="Security" value="..\store\SecuritySettings.xml"/>
  </appSettings>

The value is a file path pointing to a security settings file. If the path is relative, as in the example above, it is evaluated relative to the location of the executable. For example dsshost.exe.

If the path does not resolve to an existing file then the default security settings are used. See DSS Node Security Model for details.
