Using the ASE Password Encryption Tool to Encrypt the DBA Password

Use the ASE password encryption utility, passencrypt, to update and encrypt passwords for the RAPCache agent-plugin.xml.

1. Stop the RAPCache UAF agent, if necessary.
2. Open a command window, change to $RAP/RAPCache//UAF-2_0/bin.
3. Run the passencrypt encryption tool.
   The syntax is:

   passencrypt [-help] 
   -[algorithm <encryption_algorithm>] 
   [-provider <cipher_provider_class>] 
   -text <clear_text>

   where:
   

   • help – is print help.

   • algorithm – is the optional encryption algorithm. The default value is DES and the supported algorithms are DES and RSA.

   • provider – is the optional cipher provider class. The default DES provider Sun’s JCE. Default RSA provider is org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider.

   • text – is the required clear text. The <clear_text> value should be the new ASE password.

4. Update the ase.password property in the file $RAP/RAPCache/UAF-2_0/plugins/com.sybase.ase/agent-plugin.xml with the encrypted value retrieved from the utility in step 3.
5. Restart the RAPCache UAF agent.
