Encrypt CMS provides flexible permalink routing managed by PermalinkService:

Structure	Example URL	Recommended Use Case
Post Name	`/my-sample-article`	Default & recommended for optimal SEO
Category & Name	`/technology/my-sample-article`	Large multi-category publication sites
Year / Month / Name	`/2026/11/my-sample-article`	News organizations and chronological blogs
Numeric ID	`/archives/42`	Compact numerical identifiers

Note: Changes to permalinks update rewrite routing immediately without requiring manual .htaccess regeneration.

Encrypt CMS allows administrators to fine-tune operational security parameters:

Session Idle Timeout: Automatically log out inactive administrative sessions (options: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, or 24 hours).
Brute-Force Rate Limiting:
- Maximum failed login attempts allowed before throttling (default: 5 attempts).
- Decay lockout duration (default: 15 minutes).
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Policy: Enforce mandatory 2FA or email OTP for users with the Administrator or Editor role.
