Updating the Encryption Algorithm to AES256

Updating the Encryption Algorithm to AES256

The first time you run the AESEncryption utility, the utility updates the encryption algorithm to AES256 and creates a master key.
Perform the following tasks before you run the utility:
  • Back up the AMHOME data.
  1. Stop the Data Archive server.
  2. Ensure that the Java path is set to the Azul JDK available in the Data Archive installation directory.
  3. Optional. You can change the default name and location of the master key file that the utility generates. By default, the utility generates a Key.file in the Data Archive installation directory. To change the file name or location, perform the following steps:
    1. Open the following file:
      <Data Archive installation directory>/conf.properties
    2. Uncomment the
      Informia.encryption.masterKeyPath
      property and enter the required file name with the complete path.
    3. Save the changes.
      The utility creates a master key with the file name and location that you specify.
  4. Browse to the following location:
    <Data Archive installation folder>/optional/
  5. Run the AESEncryptionUtility.bat file on Windows or the AESEncryptionUtility.sh file on UNIX.
  6. The utility verifies the current encryption algorithm. If the algorithm is RC4, the utility prompts you to confirm whether you want to change the encryption algorithm. Enter Y to continue.
    The utility encrypts the passwords with the AES256 algorithm and creates the host key in the database.
  7. Choose if you want to use a random master key. If you enter Y to use a random master key, the utility creates the key and stores the encrypted key in the
    <Data Archive installation directory>/key.file
    or the custom name and location you specified in step 2.
  8. To enter a custom master key, enter N and then enter an input string.
    The utility encrypts the string and stores the encrypted key in the
    <Data Archive installation directory>/key.file
    or the custom name and location you specified in step 2. The utility indicates that the task was completed successfully and exits.
    The following section is an example of the utility run with a custom master key:
    E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>AESEncryptionUtility.bat E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>set PWD=E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\ E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>if "E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\java" == "" (set JAVA_HOME=E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\java ) E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>set CLASSPATH=.;.;E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\infafas-6.5.1.jar;E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\webapp\WEB-INF\ lib\commons-collections-3.2.2.jar;E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\bc-fips-1.0.2.1.jar; E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>cd ..\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\ E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\webapp\WEB-INF\lib>"E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional\\..\java\bin\java.exe" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 com.applimation.util.AESEncryptionUitlity log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.springframework.core.env.StandardEnvironment). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info. Do you want to change the encryption algorithm to the new algorithm? (press y/n): y Do you want to use a random Master key? (press y/n): n Enter the Master key: sajmkda873489^%@&H*!X4jm8xcmcmskl Update of encrypted values completed successfully. E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\webapp\WEB-INF\lib>cd ../../../optional E:\INFAUSER\NEW\651_108\ILM\optional>pause Press any key to continue . . .
Users must download Enterprise Data Manager each time that you run the encryption utility.
