Recording Link Encryption
The Recording Link can be encrypted when recording an encrypted conference. The
encryption of the Recording Link is enabled when Encryption is selected in the Conference

ALLOW_NON_ENCRYPT_RECORDING_LINK_IN_ENCRYPT_CONF is set to NO.
Recording Link Encryption Guidelines:

•The Recording Link uses the AES encryption format.
•The RSS 2000/4000 recorder must be set to support encryption. The following RSS
