Password encryption

The amcrypto.sh script comes with the Managing Server and is present in MS_home/bin to encrypt the passwords related to Node Authentication and SSL.

To encrypt a password:

1. Enter:

   amcrypto.sh -encrypt password

   The password is written to stdout.

2. Copy this encrypted password and place it in the appropriate config files.

   Currently password encryption is supported only for the following property values on both the Managing Server and data collectors:

   • KEYSTR_PASS and KEYSTR_KEYPASS in MS_home/bin/setenv.sh

   • JDBC_PASSWORD in MS_home/bin/setenv.sh. See Change the user name and password for the database Schema user See ITCAM Managing Server Installation and Customization Guide See ITCAM Managing Server Installation and Customization Guide for full instructions for changing the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) user ID and password for the database Schema user.

   • keystore.storepass, keystore.keypass using the same method mentioned in the Step 2.

   • keystore.storepass and keystore.keypass in DC_home/runtime/app_server_version.node_name.server_name/datacollector.properties file.

3. Restart the Managing Server to activate the password encryption changes:

   1. If it is not already stopped, stop the Managing Server. See Stop the Managing Server.

   2. Start the Managing Server. See Start the Managing Server.

4. Restart the VE application server.
