Encrypt Passwords in CA Catalyst Components Using the Encrypter Utility

As an administrator, use the CA Catalyst encryption utility (encrypter.bat) to encrypt any password in CA Catalyst components. You can change any password manually and then insert the new encrypted password into the appropriate configuration files.

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the CA SOI services on the affected systems.
2. Open a command prompt, navigate to SOI_HOME\CatalystEncrypt, and run the following command:

   encrypter <password>
   

   An encrypted password is generated.

3. Paste the encrypted password into the required configuration files.

   Note: Ensure that you replace the password in all necessary configuration files according to the ensuing procedures for the administrator user, database user, or CA EEM.

4. Start the CA SOI services.

   The password change takes effect.
