The spring-cloud-context module decrypts property values that are prefixed with {cipher} while the Spring environment is being prepared, that is, before any bean reads them. It can be used standalone: neither a Spring Cloud starter, nor a bootstrap context, nor a Spring Cloud Config Server is required. Adding the dependency and configuring a key is sufficient, because the module registers its DecryptEnvironmentPostProcessor as a regular Spring Boot EnvironmentPostProcessor.

Note

spring-cloud-context is not part of CoreMedia Content Cloud. You add the dependency to your own application yourself, and you remain responsible for keeping it up to date and for choosing a version that matches the Spring Boot version of your CoreMedia Content Cloud release.
