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:
- From a command prompt, change working directory to the
installation location for the Process Engine software.
- Run the following command:
genseed password
where password is the password you want to
encrypt.
- An encrypted password is generated and displayed in the
encrypted password field. For example:
password=!v2!4YHsRLq8JknqjP6wHjqoe2J2CyznTjP8ClehHxV084k=
- 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.
- 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=
