The LDAP administrator password that is set in this property is set when the LDAP settings are specified during installation and is stored in both the <Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/ieStructProperties.txt file and the <Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/ie.properties. As part of the installation process, the passwords entered during installation are automatically encrypted.

The Gateway for Cadence Allegro Design Workbench uses the password stored in the ie.ldap.managerPw property. If you have installed this gateway, see the Windchill Gateway for Cadence Allegro Design Workbench User’s Guide for information about using the gateway.

When an Info*Engine adapter has been installed on a server that is not the Windchill server, the password in the ie.ldap.managerPw property must also be encrypted on that server. For details on encrypting the LDAP administrator password on a remote host, see the corresponding adapter guide.

When installing Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration (Windchill ESI), an installation panel prompts for the password of the user who is used to logon to the Java Messaging System (JMS) through the EAI software components and also prompts to verify the password. These service-related properties are stored in LDAP and encrypted as part of the Info*Engine encryption process for LDAP entries. See Encrypting Passwords Stored in Info*Engine Properties.

These properties are used to modify the MapCredentials.xml file that is installed. The MapCredentials.xml file is used to specify the authentication access to a specific Info*Engine adapter. The file is used when a more restrictive access to an enterprise directory is required. The default access is anonymous. Each property includes a password. Using the xconfmanager utility to set the values of the properties encrypts the passwords.

If after completing your initial installation, your site has configured an additional enterprise LDAP directory (such as the Active Directory Server (ADS) directory) and has set administrative access control privileges for the directory by modifying the MapCredentials.xml file, then the MapCredentials.xml file can contain plain-text passwords. To encrypt passwords stored in the MapCredentials.xml file, add the properties to validProperties.list and complete the steps identified in Encrypting Windchill System Passwords.

For information about the properties and corresponding passwords that are set in this file, see the authentication and MapCredentials.xml file information in Set Authentication in MapCredentials.xml File.

The Gateway for Cadence Allegro Design Workbench uses the password stored in the mapcredentials.admin.adapters property. If you have installed this gateway, see the Windchill Gateway for Cadence Allegro Design Workbench User’s Guide for information about using the gateway.

This property is used to store the password of the Windchill Business Reporting administrative user. Although the property is always available in the db.properties file, it is only used when Windchill Business Reporting has been installed and configured. By default, the initial value is set to wcadmin.

For more information about installing and configuring Windchill Business Reporting, see Windchill Business Reporting.

When the Windchill Archive Server components have been installed, this property is set in <Windchill>/archivesystem/archivesystem.properties file and is the password of the user who has access to the archive server.

For more information about the Windchill Archive Server, see the Overview in the Windchill Archive Administration Guide.

This property is stored in the db.properties file and is the database user password. The property is set during the installation process when there are changes to the database that require the entry of the database user name and password. As part of the installation process, the password is encrypted.
