Encrypting the LDAP Administrator Password
If the adapter is on a host that is different from the Info*Engine host, then you must run a command to encrypt the LDAP administrator password and create a keystore on the adapter machine. Encrypt the LDAP administrator password stored on the host where the adapter is installed.
To encrypt the LDAP administrator password and create the keystore on the host where the adapter is installed, navigate to the following location:
<IeAdapter.zip_extracted_location>/bin/adminTools/sip
Run the following command:
ant -f EncryptPasswords.xml recreateKeyStoreForAdapter
As the script runs, it prompts you for the LDAP administrator password. As a result of encrypting the LDAP administrator password, you cannot view the password. The text stored in the property is generated according to the following format:
encrypted.<related_name>
where <related name> is system-generated text. For example, the password value stored in the ie.ldap.managerPw property is generated as:
encrypted.ie.ldap.managerPw
This text uniquely identifies the encrypted password that is stored in the keystore file.
The keystore file itself is encrypted using a random character string and is stored at the following location:
<IeAdapter.zip_extracted_location>/bin/adminTools/sip
To change the LDAP administrator password or recreate the keystore, you can rerun the
EncryptPasswords.xml script with the
recreateKeyStoreForAdapter target. For more information on running the
EncryptPasswords.xml script, see
System Password Encryption Options.
