Encrypting Windchill RV&S 에이전트 Passwords

For specified Windchill RV&S 에이전트 passwords, the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 can run with plain text passwords or an encrypted password configuration. For more information on the encryptpassword application, see the topic Migrating to Encrypted Server-side Passwords

Encrypted Windchill RV&S 에이전트 passwords provide an additional level of security by eliminating plain text passwords that can be viewed in the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 files.

Encryption of Windchill RV&S 에이전트 passwords is independent of the transport protocol defined in your security scheme.

By default, Windchill RV&S 에이전트 is installed with passwords configured in plain text. If you want to change the default installation and run with encrypted Windchill RV&S 에이전트 passwords, you can use the encryptPassword application to modify the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 files for password encryption. The encryptPassword application is located as follows:

Before running the encryptPassword application, you must first stop the Windchill RV&S 에이전트. After you run the application and restart the Windchill RV&S 에이전트, the system will then use encrypted passwords.

When the application is run, if the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 is running in the default plain text password configuration, it migrates the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 to the encrypted password configuration; if the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 is already running in the encrypted password configuration, it encrypts any Windchill RV&S 에이전트 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:

• -e|--encryptPassword specifies the option to migrate the system on the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 from plain text passwords to encrypted passwords. If the Windchill RV&S 에이전트 is already running in the encrypted password configuration, this option specifies to encrypt any remaining plain text passwords. For example, encryptPassword -e.

For a list of the passwords that are encrypted by the encryptpassword application, see “To change encrypted passwords on Windchill RV&S Agent”.

The following procedure outlines the syntax for encryptPassword where no options are specified and you are presented with a text menu to guide you through the migration process.
