Oracle BI Presentation Services Credential Store supports storage of credentials in an XML file of proprietary format. The CryptoTools utility that is provided with Oracle Business Intelligence is a general purpose utility for the manipulation of the credential store XML file. This utility is located in the OracleBI_HOME\web\bin directory on Windows and OracleBI_HOME/web/bin directory on Linux or UNIX.

CryptoTools is used to directly edit the credential store XML file, or to generate encrypted XML fragments that can be embedded manually into the credential store file. This appendix describes the syntax for this tool, and its supported sub-commands.
