Encrypt Passwords

Passwords in the APM Connect context file are not encrypted by default. However, you can encrypt any password manually. This topic describes how to manually encrypt passwords.

Steps

  1. On the machine on which you installed APM Connect, access the APM Connect installation package, locate the Encrypt String_0.1.zip, and then unzip the file.
  2. Open the EncryptString folder, and then select EncryptString_run.bat.

    A command prompt opens, and then the Talend Open Studio window appears.

  3. Enter the password that you want to encrypt in the Enter the text to be encrypted: box.
  4. Select OK.
  5. In the command prompt, between the banners, copy the text that was generated.
  6. Open the context file.
  7. In the parameter that you want to encrypt, paste the generated text.
  8. Append the highlighted parameter the with _AES, as shown in the following image.

  9. Save the context file.
  10. For each password that you want to encrypt, repeat steps 2 through 9.

    The passwords are encrypted.
