I have a vague memory of the Windows Registry being involved in some way, but I can't recall if it was for credentials specifically.

I remember practicing a question about configuration files, and I feel like the logging.properties file was mentioned, but that doesn't seem right for credentials.

I've got a good feeling about option B, the dsm.properties file. That makes the most sense to me based on how the Deep Security Manager is set up.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the credentials would be in the dsm.properties file or the Windows Registry. I'll have to review my notes on Deep Security Manager.

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure the credentials aren't stored in the logging.properties file, so I can rule out option A.

I bet the correct answer is hidden in the source code, somewhere between the lines of 'super-secret-credentials' and 'please-don't-hack-me'.
