Some environment and configuration parameters contain sensitive information, such as authentication credentials, that should be protected. This section provides two methods for encrypting cleartext strings.

Passwords stored in the ces_parameters table and the CentricityServer.properties, and AMRInterface.properties files can be stored in encrypted form. These passwords are encrypted/decrypted using an encryption key that is unique to each WebLogic domain where the NMS application is deployed.

 

To generate an encrypted password, run the following commands as the WebLogic user:

This will prompt for the password and then output the encrypted version of that password, which can then be copied to the appropriate SQL or properties file.
