Use the mapdpwd2 utility to encrypt
database passwords.
Procedure
- On the command line, go to the InfoSphere® MDM installation
directory (MDM_INSTALL_HOME).
Then go to the bin directory. For example:
Microsoft Windows: cd MDM_INSTALL_HOME\bin
Linux or UNIX: cd /opt/MDM_INSTALL_HOME/bin
- Run this command:
madpwd2.exe -e plaintextPwd
where plaintextPwd is
the original password for the database user account in plain text
format. You created the account as a part of configuring the database.
This text is displayed in the output:
PLAINTEXT = (plaintextPwd)
ENCRYPTED = (2AEBE6CA01432400F4619011D8AC5B50)
DECRYPTED = (plaintextPwd)
where 2AEBE6CA01432400F4619011D8AC5B50 is
the newly encrypted password string.
- Save the encrypted password string in a
safe place; then, apply the literal string when prompted for the corresponding
value when you create your MDM_INSTALL_HOME.
