Encrypting a password on Linux

You can encrypt your login password before you specify it in the

restenv.properties

file or a task command. On a Linux machine, use the shell script to encrypt your password.

Copy the template file

set_cli_vars_default.sh

and rename it to

set_cli_vars.sh

Edit the file and set a password for the keystore that stores the encryption key. Use the following format:

export RUNAJOB_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<password>

To encrypt your login password, run one of the following commands:

./cli.sh encryptText -t <password>

./cli.sh encryptText -text <password>

If your login password includes non-alphanumeric characters, enclose the password within double quotation marks.
