D35FO OnPerm deployment Encrypt credentials step

Could you please explain me what's meant to be done in point 15?

Encrypt credentials
On any client machine, install the encipherment certificate in the LocalMachine\My certificate store.
Grant the current user read access to the private key of this certificate.
Create the Credentials.json file, as shown here.

{
"AosPrincipal": {
"AccountPassword": "<encryptedDomainUserPassword>"
},
"AosSqlAuth": {
"SqlUser": "<encryptedSqlUser>",
"SqlPwd": "<encryptedSqlPassword>"
}
}

AccountPassword is the encrypted domain user password for the AOS domain user (contoso\axserviceuser).
SqlUser is the encrypted SQL user (axdbadmin) that has access to the Finance and Operations database (AXDBRAIN), and SqlPassword is the encrypted SQL password.
Copy the .json file to the SMB file share, \\AX7SQLAOFILE1\agent\Credentials\Credentials.json.

Update the Credentials.json file with encrypted values.
