Hi,

There are a few things I noticed relating to the docs that could be clarified:

1. The docs 
(https://syncope.apache.org/docs/2.1/getting-started.html#moving-forward)
state that the "secretKey" value is only needed if
adminPasswordAlgorithm or password.cipher.algorithm is "AES", implying
that it could be left blank if you are not using AES. However, I see
CipherAlgorithm.AES in the source code in several places (e.g.
./core/idrepo/logic/src/main/java/org/apache/syncope/core/logic/AccessTokenLogic.java),
which implies that secretKey should always be required. Which is
correct?

2. I think we need to give clearer guidance about how to change
secretKey. How should a user generate a random 256 bit AES key, and
then encode it for this parameter? (e.g. possibly using openssl
-rand).

3. Both docs give minimal information on what "anonymousKey" is used
for. What is it used for and how should a user generate a new value
for it?

Colm.
