By default, the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server is installed with passwords configured in plain text. If you want to change the default installation and run with encrypted server-side passwords, you can use the encryptPassword application to modify the target server files for password encryption. The encryptPassword application is located as follows:

If you have configured Federated Server architecture (FSA) for your environment, you can also use the encryptPassword application to migrate to encrypted passwords on the proxy. To migrate to encrypted passwords on the proxy, run encryptPassword from the installdir/bin directory on the proxy machine. For more information on FSA, see “Understanding Federated Server Architecture”.

When the application is run, if the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server is running in the default plain text password configuration, it migrates the server to the encrypted password configuration; if the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server is already running in the encrypted password configuration, it encrypts any target passwords that are in plain text and writes them back to the file in the encrypted format.

To run the application directly and migrate to encrypted passwords, specify encryptPassword with options as follows:
