Create encrypted passwords for a response file
Add encrypted passwords to the edited version of the default response file.
We can create a response file using Installation Manager or by editing the file that is provided with the product. For more information about editing the file, see the Default response file topic.
When you edit the default response file to suit our own environment, create encrypted passwords, and add them to the file. Create encrypted passwords for both WebSphere Application Sever and the databases.
To create encrypted passwords for a response file:
- cd IBM_Connections_setup/INSTALL/IM/OS/tools directory, where OS is the operating system.
- Run:
- AIX or Linux: ./imutilsc encryptString Password -silent -noSplash
- IBM i: imcl encryptString Password
- Windows: imutilsc.exe encryptString Password -silent -noSplash
where Password is your password.
- Add the encrypted password to the relevant line in the response file. You usually need to enter passwords for both the WAS administrator and the database user. For example:
<data key='user.activities.adminuser.password' value='encrypted_password'/>
<data key='user.activities.dbUserPassword value='encrypted_password'/>
where encrypted_password is the value generated by command.
You might also need to change the default WebSphere Application Server administrator name from wasadmin, if different from the administrator name.
- Repeat these steps for each unique password.
What to do next
Use the response file to silently install, modify, update, roll back, or uninstall Connections.
