AI generated property description:
The ServiceNow property glide.security.glideencrypter.allow controls whether the deprecated Glide Encrypter API can be used within the instance. By default, the value is false, which blocks access to this API to enforce migration toward the Key Management Framework (KMF) for stronger and more maintainable encryption. Setting the property to true temporarily re-enables Glide Encrypter, allowing legacy scripts or integrations to continue functioning, but this weakens security and prolongs reliance on unsupported cryptography. Administrators typically adjust this setting only during transition periods when refactoring code to replace Glide Encrypter with KMF. Leaving it enabled in production poses compliance and security risks, so it should be used strictly as a short-term compatibility measure.
