You can use the unity_securityUtility.sh command
to change the password that the Data Collector and EIF Receiver use
to connect to IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis.
Syntax
The
unity_securityUtility.sh command
is in the
<HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/utilities directory
and it has the following syntax:
unity_securityUtility.sh encode [textToEncode] [unity.ks]
Parameters
The
unity_securityUtility.sh command
has the following parameters:
- encode
The encode action returns an AES encrypted version of the text
that you enter as the text to encrypt.
- [textToEncode]
- Use the [textToEncode] parameter
to enter the password that you want to encrypt. If you do not specify
a password for this parameter, IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis prompts
you for one.
- [unity.ks]
The unity.ks file is the default keystore
that is generated automatically during installation. It controls how
the password is encrypted and decrypted.
The
unity.ks file
is used to encrypt and decrypt passwords for the following features:
- Java data collector client in the <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/utilities/datacollector-client/javaDatacollector.properties file.
- EIF Receiver in the <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/utilities/UnityEIFReceiver/config/unity.conf file.
