7. Go to <sovos_kit_base>/configuration.
8. Update the adapter.ini file with the encrypted passwords.
9. Update the adapter.ini file with the appropriate values for:

   • encrypted_connection_password

   • encrypted_destination_password

10. Perform a full calculation request in the Sovos JCo Server application to test that the encryption or decryption was successful.
