Encrypting a repository database password

As a TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform administrator, you need to encrypt a repository database password when you change the password. You can then update the <install_directory>\appserver\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml file with the encrypted password.


Perform the following steps to encrypt a repository database password:

  1. Go to the <install_directory>\utilities\cli directory, and run the following command:

    java -jar EncryptPassword.jar

  2. Enter the updated password when prompted.

  3. After the password is encrypted, copy the password.

  4. Open the <install_directory>\appserver\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml, file, and search for the JDBCPassword string as shown below:

    <init-param>
    <param-name>JDBCPassword</param-name>
    <param-value>03Std5z/BjK1XsH7KXtHkg==</param-value>
    </init-param>

  5. Replace the value of the JDBCPassword string with the encrypted password that you copied.

  6. Restart the TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform service.
