    "irods_default_number_of_transfer_threads": 4,
    "irods_default_resource": "rootResc",
    "irods_encryption_algorithm": "AES-256-CBC",
    "irods_encryption_key_size": 32,
    "irods_encryption_num_hash_rounds": 16,
    "irods_encryption_salt_size": 8,
    "irods_host": "rdms-prod-icat.data.rug.nl",
    "irods_match_hash_policy": "compatible",
    "irods_maximum_size_for_single_buffer_in_megabytes": 32,
    "irods_port": 1247,
