Encrypting passwords for Process Engine

Several passwords are required to configure Process Engine components. To accommodate your security requirements, you can encrypt these passwords before you enter them into the configuration files.

Ensure that Java is installed and that the location to your Java runtime environment (JRE) is in your PATH environment variable.

Do the following steps to encrypt a password:

  1. From a command prompt, change working directory to the installation location for the Process Engine software.
  2. Run the following command:
    genseed password
    where password is the password you want to encrypt.
  3. An encrypted password is generated and displayed in the encrypted password field. For example:
    password=!v2!4YHsRLq8JknqjP6wHjqoe2J2CyznTjP8ClehHxV084k=
  4. Copy and paste the encrypted password string into the appropriate configuration file. The string to copy starts after the first equal sign and includes all of the remainder of the characters.
  5. Enter the string in the password field of the configuration file, preceded by the @ character. In this example, the string to enter in the configuration file would be:
    @!v2!4YHsRLq8JknqjP6wHjqoe2J2CyznTjP8ClehHxV084k=
