Encrypting a New Password

You encrypt a database schema password from the

Utilities

folder in the Resource Kit.

The Utilities folder is in the following directory:

MDM Hub installation directory

>/hub/resourcekit

To encrypt a database schema password, from the Utilities folder, run one of the following commands:

Windows systems:

java -classpath siperian-common.jar;commons-validator-1.4.0.jar com.siperian.common.security.Blowfish [key_type] <Password>

UNIX systems:

java -classpath siperian-common.jar:commons-validator-1.4.0.jar com.siperian.common.security.Blowfish [key_type] <Password>

where

key_type

is the Blowfish key.

The terminal window displays the following message:

Plaintext Password: <Password>
Encrypted Password: <Encrypted Password>

For example, if

admin

is the password on a Windows system, use the following command:

java -classpath siperian-common.jar;commons-validator-1.4.0.jar com.siperian.common.security.Blowfish [key_type] admin

The terminal window displays the following message:

Plaintext Password: admin
Encrypted Password: A75FCFBCB375F229
