    Default How to create RSA key container?

    Here is the description from the manual document:

    "Web.Config.EncryptionProvider
    Base Description: The encryption provider used to encrypt the web.config. The allowed values are DataProtectionConfigurationProvider and RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider. Use RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider if you are running on a web farm. You will need to create an RSA key container before implementing the RSA encryption provider.
    Default Value: DataProtectionConfigurationProvider

    Default What is the key file name and where is located?

    Hello, after the radio button "Encrypt the web.conig" is set to "Yes" in the Site Configuration Wizard under the admin site, where the key file is created and what is its file name?

    Looks like I can export the key file with this command from my server 1 and import it into the server 2 and then copy the web.conifg to the server 2 and switch the provider to RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider .

    aspnet_regiis -px "MyKeys" "c:\keys.xml" -pri

    Is that correct steps? please advise!!!
