Configuring CA Executive Insight › Generate an Encrypted Password

Generate an Encrypted Password

If the password for the CA EEM or database administrator user changes, generate an encrypted password using the password utility that is provided with the product. After you generate the encrypted password, copy it into the corresponding property file and restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Follow these steps:

1. Change to the following directory at the command prompt:
   • On Windows

     install_dir\bin\
     

   • On Linux:

     install_dir/bin/
     

   install_dir

   Specifies the directory where CA Executive Insight is installed.

2. Enter the following command:
   • On Windows:

     EncryptPasswordTool.bat
     

   • On Linux:

     EncryptPasswordTool.sh
     

   You are prompted whether to mask the password input.

3. Specify whether to mask the password input by entering y or n.

   You are prompted to enter a password.

4. Enter your password.

   The utility responds with your encrypted password. You can copy the encrypted string into the corresponding property file.

   You are prompted whether to continue to use the utility.

5. Enter y to encrypt another password or n to end the utility.
