Hi @salah1 

The best practices I follow for something like this would be 

- Placing the option in the <SASHome>/SASFoundation/9.4/sasv9_local.cfg file on Linux --- This way if and when I decide to upgrade my deployment, I would not lose my site customization. 

- Placing the option in the <SASHome>\SASFoundation\9.4\sasv9.cfg file on Windows 

With this option being placed with the SASHome, that means whatever SAS Application that based on-top of SAS Foundation would inherit this setting 😉, as long as the application layer does not explicitly remove it by specifying  -NONETENCRYPT 

Here are a link to the docs and it shows where you can place this option

Hope this helps,
