Host On-Demand provides a password encryption tool so you can encrypt your passwords for added security. Itis a command-line tool that allows you to generate a file that stores the encrypted password, which you must then copy to the appropriate place in the web.xml file. The Host Credential plug-in decrypts the password before using it.
If you create a custom Host Credential plug-in, the plug-in should use the com.ibm.eNetwork.HOD.common.PasswordCipher object to decrypt the password. The CLASS file for this object is included in WAR file. Refer to Custom Credential Mapper Servlet response object for a description of the encrypt and decrypt methods.
