Encrypting the administrator password
When creating a local product administrator user for an AppScan® Enterprise Server, you add the administrator user and password to the server.xml file. You can encrypt that password by following the instructions in this topic.
When you edit the server.xml file (by following
the instructions in Creating a local product administrator user for an AppScan Enterprise Server that is configured with LDAP or Creating a local product administrator user for an AppScan Enterprise Server that is configured with Windows authentication), you can use
the securityUtility tool to encode the password for
the administrator user. On Windows™,
the tool is located in Liberty\bin in the AppScan® Enterprise
Server installation
directory. On Linux™, the tool
is located in Liberty/bin. When you run the securityUtility encode command,
you either supply the password to encode as an input from the command
line or, if no arguments are specified, the tool prompts you for the
password. The tool then outputs the encoded value. For example, to
encode a password value of ADMIN, issue the securityUtility
encode ADMIN command. this should generate an output value
of {xor}HhsSFhE=.
Copy the value that is generated by the tool, and use that value
for the password when adding the basicRegistry section
to the server.xml file. For example, add this
to the file:
<basicRegistry id="basic" realm="customRealm">
<user name="ADMIN" password="{xor}HhsSFhE=" />
</basicRegistry>
