No, the passwords are not required in the config - It just makes life
easier when setting everything up since it's extremely easy to get
distracted and put the correct password in the wrong place.
Otherwise, the config will generate random passwords for the
director, SD, and FD.
Haven't delved into TLS/encryption so can't help you there. Best to
start a new thread on that subject when the time comes.
