What it does
Older name for the Shodan API key the public IP engine uses to look up your public IP addresses.
When set
Used only when SI_Shodan_ApiKey is not set. Without any key the public IP engine still runs, but every Shodan field (open ports, services, vulnerabilities) is empty.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: Not set: the key under its current name is used; without any key, Shodan details stay empty.
Risk and how to reverse it
A credential: kept only in the install's Key Vault, never shown again after it is saved. A wrong value stops the steps that use it until it is corrected; nothing else is changed.
Requires
Kept in the install's Key Vault.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Prefer SI_Shodan_ApiKey; keep this only for older configuration files.
