Database and certificate security passwords

When we configure a MobileFirst Server, we must typically configure database and certificate passwords for security.

Configuration of a IBM MobileFirst Platform Server typically includes the following credentials:

• User name and password to the runtime database

• User name and password to other custom databases

• User name and password to certificates that enable the stamping of apps

All credentials are stored in the in JNDI properties of the application server. Defaults can be stored in worklight.properties. See Application server-side configuration parameters for information about individual properties.

We can encrypt any or all of these passwords. See Storing properties in encrypted format.
