Local fix

• You can leave the password empty in the configuration file, then
  the web feed utility will prompt for entering trust store
  password. After entering the password, web feed utility will run
  successfully.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users on v7.0 who use the web feed utility.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  The decryption of password fails with the class
  EncryptionFactory when running webFeedLoad utility
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  The web feed utility will not be completed successfully even
  with the correct password specified.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The code change will use another class
  (com.ibm.commerce.util.nc_crypt.decrypt) to decrypt the password
  instead of the EncryptionFactory.
