Encrypting Passwords Using the PSCipher Java Utility

You launch the PSCipher utility from the <PIA_HOME> directory.

To encrypt a password:

1. Launch the PSCipher.bat file in the <PIA_HOME>\webserv\<DOMAIN>\piabin directory.

2. If using UNIX, change the script file’s permissions so that you can execute it.

3. Execute the script file with your password as an argument.

   The utility returns the encrypted password as a string.

   • On a Windows machine, enter:

     pscipher MYPASSWORD

   • On a UNIX machine, enter:

     PSCipher.sh MYPASSWORD

4. Copy the encrypted string and paste it into the appropriate location.
