NOTE: This is a BREAKING CHANGE from v1.x. If you are on v1.x please EXPORT your Locker before deploying v2.x. If your forget to do this, simply go back to v1.6.2, export your Locker, then deploy v2.1.0. PowerPass will not overwrite your Locker or your Locker keys if they already exist.

Attachment Compression

This latest release of PowerPass v2.1.0 adds support for attachment compression. When loading large attachments into your Locker, add the -GZip parameter to compress the file before loading it to your Locker. This works best with large text files, such as CSV or JSON files which contain data, but is not recommended for files which are already compressed.

Breaking Changes

The v2.x branch of PowerPass breaks away from an old methodology for generating ephemeral keys within the AES edition of PowerPass. v2.x will not be able to open v1.x Lockers on the AES edition. The key format is not the same.

Key Generation

In the v1.x branch of PowerPass, AES-encrypted Locker keys were protected with an ephemeral key based on the current environment. This key was generated using command-line utilities, and while it was functional, it was liable to fail and throw an error, halting execution of the module. In the v2.x branch of PowerPass, ephemeral keys are generated using the cross-platform .NET System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace and the System.Environment class. While this makes the implementation more durable and tolerant to more scenarios, it effectively causes a change in the key format and thus breaks from the v1.x branch of PowerPass.

To install PowerPass:
