Disabling encryption on new and existing passwords

Use this procedure to disable password encryption:

  1. Disable encryption on new passwords that are entered for Replication Server, using configure replication server. At Replication Server, enter:

    configure replication server
     set password_encryption to '0'
    
  2. Change existing passwords in the RSSD to clear text.

    To do this, change each user’s password using the alter user command, the alter connection command for maintenance users, and the alter route command for routes.

  3. In the Replication Server configuration file, manually reenter, in clear text, passwords that are currently encrypted.

  4. Restart the Replication Server to pick up the new password_encryption configuration parameters.
