Running {xor} encryption on your password

About this task

To {xor} encrypt your password, use the PropFilePasswordEncoder command located in the WAS_home/bin directory of the external WebSphere Application Server.

Follow these steps:

Open a new text file and write the following line:
```
string=your_password_in_plain_text 
```
Save the file with a file_name of your choice.
Run PropFilePasswordEncoder as follows:
```
PropFilePasswordEncoder file_name string 
```
where:

file_name

Is the name of the file with your password.

string

Is the string you used in the text file. This can be any word you choose; for example, password, mypwd, joe, and so on.
When the command completes, open the text file again. The content has changed to:
```
string={xor}your_encrypted_password 
```
Copy your encrypted password, inclusive of the {xor} characters, and paste it where required onto your property files.

For example, you want to encrypt your password catamaran. Proceed as follows:

Open a text file and write the following:
```
mypasswd=catamaran
```
Save the file with name encrfile.txt.

Run:

PropFilePasswordEncoder encrfile.txt mypasswd

Open encrfile.txt. You find:
```
mypasswd={xor}PD4rPjI+LT4x 
```
Copy {xor}PD4rPjI+LT4x and paste it where you need to.
