Updating an Existing Environment Using a New Encryption Seed and Signature
To use new encryption information:
- Back up your bluedoor.properties, skire.properties, and datasource.properties files to a separate location.
These files are located in:
- <Unifier_Home>/configurator/bluedoor.properties
- <Unifier_Home>/apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/skire.properties
- <Unifier_Home>/apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/datasource.properties
- To create an encryption.properties file, complete the steps outlined under Creating an encryption.properties File.
- In <Unifier_Home>/configurator, open the bluedoor.properties file and locate the lines related to:
- unifier.secure.seed=sampleX
- unifier.secure.signature=sampleY
- Open the bluedoor.properties file, and replace the values for unifier.secure.seed and unifier.secure.signature with the values from encryption.properties file (sampleX and sampleY).
- Encrypt the password, as described under Encrypting a Password.
- To verify that the encryption works correctly, decrypt the password, as described under Decrypting a Password.
- Copy the encrypted password to the applicable field in the bluedoor.properties file.
- Repeat these steps for all secured fields that you use.
For more information, see the table under Using Encryption.
- Enter:
cd <Unifier_Home>/weblogic
- To transform <Unifier_Home>/configurator/bluedoor.properties into <Unifier_Home>/apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/skire.properties and datasource.properties, enter:
./ configure.sh unifier.weblogic
- If you are using Enterprise Archive (EAR) deployment, to generate the EAR file, run:
./configure.sh ear.weblogic
- Restart your WebLogic Server, and verify that you can connect to the Unifier database.
