Change PasswordChoose to change your password. Do not forget, because it cannot be recovered!
Truststore LockEvery ChatterBox has a truststore, which contains public keys, device IDs, and alias’ for every trusted device. It remains unlocked by default, because the root device may onboard a new node or communicator, and your device would need to add that new device to its truststore. Any device in your cluster can prove that it was onboarded by the root device, so newly added devices can be trusted on the fly, using that mechanism. However, you can lock the truststore of your device, and your device will not trust any new ones, except when provided directly from root.
Key ForwardingDevices may forward trusted public keys on behalf of other devices. This is due to a mechanism to allow newly onboarded devices to be securely trusted by devices they will never come into contact with. The details of that are beyond the scope of this description, but suffice it to say you can disable that, per-device, if you want.
Ignore ExpiryThis setting causes your device to not check the expiration of incoming messages. It may never be useful, and by default, all expired messages are disabled. The setting is left in here in case some situation leaves your cluster device clocks out of sync, and you want a “hack” around that issue.
