DataStoreUseConfiguration

Net iD Client can use the filesystem or the Windows registry to store the data, for example, soft tokens. This property sets in which file or registry subkey to store the data.

The reason is to make it easier when it is important to have control over where data is stored, for example, when using Net iD Access.

Locations

The location can be the filesystem or the Windows registry.

Filesystem

Set in which file, netid.cfg or netid_db.cfg, on the filesystem to store data. The file is located in %AppData%\netid\, see Application data.
