The unistall_password key specifies the password required to uninstall password-protected Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent software from the host endpoint using the msiexec.exe command line option.
The uninstall_password setting is provided by the Endpoint Security (HX) server through the agent configuration. The process uininstall_password setting should be listed within quotation marks ("). Enclose the full list of process settings in braces ({}). The password value consists of a lowercase salt:hash value (16-byte random salt and sha256 hash). See the example below.
