2. From the installdir/bin directory, run the following command:

“Reverting to Plain Text Server-side Passwords”.
4. To proceed with the encryption, enter y. The application runs and encrypts the target server-side passwords.
Once the application has completed, a confirmation message displays. If this is the first time you have run the encryptPassword application, the is.properties file is stamped with the following flag:
global.encrypt=true

After running this application, the encryption.jceks keystore is created automatically in the installdir\data\security\store\ directory. Similarly, the keystore password file secret.key is added to the installdir\data\security\key\ directory. Ensure that this key is manually secured.
