EncryptPassword

EncryptPassword

Generates and displays an encrypted form of a password. If you configure Data Validation Option to use Informatica authentication, use the
EncryptPassword
command to encrypt the password for an Informatica user or administrator. Set an environment variable to the encrypted password. Use the environment variable in DVOCmd commands, such as the
CopyFolder
,
RefreshRepository
, or
RunTests
commands.
Use a name of your choice for the variable. In the DVOCmd command, use the
ePassword
option instead of the
password
option and specify the environment variable. For example, set an environment variable named INFAPWD to the encrypted password. Use INFAPWD as the value of the
ePassword
option in DVOCmd commands that require the password. The DVOCmd commands replace the environment variable with the encrypted password, and then decrypt the password.
If you set the
ePassword
option, then do not set the
password
option. If the command contains both the
password
and
ePassword
options, then the Data Validation Option uses the
ePassword
and ignores the
password.
The
EncryptPassword
command uses the following syntax:
DVOCmd EncryptPassword <password>
The following table describes
EncryptPassword
options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-
password
Password of the Informatica user.
Along with the encrypted password, the command displays the string that results when DVOCmd commands decrypt the password. The decrypted and unencrypted forms of the password must match.
You can also use the command line program pmpasswd to encrypt passwords. The pmpasswd utility installs in one of the following directories:
  • <InformaticaInstallationDir>/server/bin
  • <InformaticaClientInstallationDir>/PowerCenterClient/client/bin
The pmpasswd utility uses the following syntax:
pmpasswd <password> [-e CRYPT_SYSTEM)]
The following table describes pmpasswd options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-
password
Required. The password to encrypt.
-e
CRYPT_SYSTEM
Optional. The encryption type.
The value is CRYPT_SYSTEM.
