Encrypted passwords

The encryption process uses the secret phrase to encrypt passwords contained in the security configuration files. The first line of the , and files indicates the appropriate field to which encryption is applied.
Installation encrypts the password fields in the files by using the default secret. The encrypted files reside in
BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf
.
The first line in the file must read as follows. It must begin with a pound sign (#).
#<encrypted field>:1.0:<n>
The value n refers to the position of the Password field in the configuration file’s record and should not be changed:
  • For
    serverConnect.conf
    , this value is 3.
  • For
    clientConnect.conf
    and
    brokerConnect.conf
    , this value is 4.
To disable encryption, add a second pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line.
