Changing the shared secret

Oracle Commerce Tools and Frameworks uses a shared secret for secure communication. Oracle recommends changing the shared secret after installation.

To update the shared secret, you must run the set_shared_secret script and update the webstudio.properties file.

  1. Navigate to the %ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT%\admin\conf directory on Windows ($ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT/admin/bin directory on UNIX).

  2. Edit the workbench.properties file and change the workbench.host and workbench.port if your port is different than 8006 to point to your Oracle Commerce Workbench Service.

  3. If SSL is enabled, set workbench.sslEnabled=true.

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Navigate to the %ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT%\admin\bin directory on Windows ($ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT/admin/bin directory on UNIX).

  6. Run the set_shared_secret[.bat|.sh] script passing in the workbench.properties configuration file and a new shared secret with the --secret parameter.

    For example, in UNIX this is: 

        ./set_shared_secret.sh --config ../conf/workbench.properties --secret some_secret_here

  7. Navigate to the %ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\conf directory on Windows ($ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/conf directory on UNIX).

  8. Open the webstudio.properties file.

  9. Locate the sharedSecret property. For example: 

    # Shared secret used for all IFCR-hosted tools
    # Value should match the shared secret defined for each tool
    # in ws-extensions.xml
    sharedSecret=DLK#*@#%Gu3897hr*#FI$fil#H2oHP@

  10. Set the value of the property to the new shared secret. It must match the shared secret parameter that you used when you ran the set_shared_secret script.

    For example: 

        sharedSecret=some_secret_here

  11. Save and close the webstudio.properties file.

  12. Start the Oracle Commerce Workbench Service.
