The following topics can be used to add protection for passwords located in files:

 

• Encoding passwords in files WAS contains some encoded passwords that are not encrypted. The PropFilePasswordEncoder utility is included to encode these passwords.

  See on encoding passwords in a file, see Encoding passwords in files.

• Enable custom password encryption we need to protect passwords that are contained in the WAS configuration. We can added protection by creating a custom class for encrypting the passwords.
