PropFilePasswordEncoder command reference

Purpose

The PropFilePasswordEncoder command encodes passwords that are located in plain text property files. This command encodes both Secure Authentication Server (SAS) property files and non-SAS property files. After you encode the passwords, a decoding command does not exist. To encode passwords, run this command from the app_server_root/bin directory of a WebSphere Application Server installation.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

PropFilePasswordEncoder "file_name"

Parameters

The following option is available for the PropFilePasswordEncoder command:

-SAS

This parameter is required if you are encoding passwords in the sas.client.props file.

-help or -?

If you specify this parameter, the script ignores all other parameters and displays usage text.

Example The following examples demonstrate the correct syntax.

PropFilePasswordEncoder "file_name" password_properties_list
PropFilePasswordEncoder "file_name" -SAS
