Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo encrypt a password in domain.xml

  1. From the directory where the domain.xml file resides (domain-dir/config by default), run the following asadmin command:


    asadmin create-password-alias --user admin alias-name
    

    For example,


    asadmin create-password-alias --user admin jms-password

    A password prompt appears (admin in this case). Refer to the man pages for the create-password-alias, list-password-aliases, delete-password-alias commands for more information.

  2. Remove and replace the password in domain.xml. This is accomplished using the asadmin set command. An example of using the set command for this purpose is as follows:


    asadmin set --user admin server.jms-service.jms-host.
    default_JMS_host.admin-password=${ALIAS=jms-password}
  3. Restart the Application Server for the relevant domain.
