Hi Folks,

need your help on enabling Encryption and Decryption in the Environment.

In our environment, we are using the default encryption method given by sailpoint and environmental specific encryption and decryption is not enabled even in prod.

1. my doubt here is if we enable it now, what would be the behaviour of the Encryption and Decryption for the keys which are already encrypted by default method.
2. does it works fine for the already encrypted keys or the keys are encrypted again by new environmental specific encryption method

Any suggestions appreciate

Thanks  
Prashanth
