Protect secure passwords to prevent access from unauthorized eXtreme Scale users in the Liberty profile.
About this task
The FilePasswordEncoder utility is included with WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Client to encode passwords
in eXtreme Scale configuration
files.
Procedure
Run the Liberty profile securityUtility.bat|sh command
to encode this property using an exclusive or (xor)
algorithm.to provide a measure of protection for passwords. Be
aware that a sophisticated user can recover encoded passwords. These
passwords are not encrypted because the eXtreme Scale code must be able
to recover them to run. Therefore, ensure that only authorized persons
can access the files where these passwords are stored.
Limit access to keystore files and truststore files by
protecting access to the file system where they are stored.
