Encrypting Property Values

You can encrypt property values in Brand Mobiliser configuration files using its encryption tool. Passwords are the most commonly encrypted values, but you can encrypt any value.

Prerequisites

Enable encryption.

Task

Go to BRAND_HOME/bin, and run:
```
../encrypt.sh decryptionValue password
```
where:
- decryptionValue is the value of decryptionkey, defined in system.properties.
- password is the property value to encrypt.
The result of running the encrypt.sh command is an encrypted and Base64-encoded value, for example:
```
x9CJt8qwgXSuDN7FY21mVOIZ1WiwIRiJoX9CatjqQiYRPjmj7NdeAchigFmxQKX4
```
In the configuration file, enter the encrypted value, prepended with {enc}, for example:
```
password={enc}x9CJt8qwgXSuDN7FY21mVOIZ1WiwIRiJoX9CatjqQiYRPjmj7NdeAchigFmxQKX4
```
{enc} alerts the configuration manager to unencrypt the property value before using it.
