ClientStore file

(numerical values as file names)

Files in the Application Settings directory with numerical values as file names contain user identification and verification data.

One such file is created for each connection to a Cryptshare server. The filename is a hash value from the server’s URL and can therefore vary.

CS4OutlookAdminConfig.xml

This file persistently stores the add-in’s configuration data locally.

The function, content, and structure of the file is explained in detail in the Configuration section.

CS4OutlookError.txt

This file is a log file for errors. It is created automatically when an error occurs.

CS4OutlookLog.txt

This file contains detailed information (trace information) about all the steps of the Cryptshare for Outlook (Classic) add-in that can be helpful for support. This makes it easier to understand the behavior of the add-in in the event of error conditions.

Trace mode can be enabled or disabled in the add-in’s settings.

Only data from the last 48 hours is kept in the file. Older content is automatically deleted.

CS4OutlookTransferHistory.xml

This file contains the history of uploads and downloads of the Transfer Manager.

The file should not be modified manually, as this will falsify the transfer history.

The CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig.xml file contains both user-specific information and global information.

The content and structure of the file is explained in the Configuration section.

enc.store

This file represents an encrypted password safe.
