Encrypting passwords for proxy settings

If you need to encrypt passwords for use in proxy settings, you can use the Business Automation Workflow EncryptPassword utility.

To encrypt passwords, complete the following steps:

1. From a command prompt, go to the install_root/BPM/Lombardi/lib directory.
2. Run the java -cp utility.jar com.lombardisoftware.utility.EncryptPassword <password> command, where <password> is the password that you want to encrypt.
   For example, run the following command:

   java -cp utility.jar com.lombardisoftware.utility.EncryptPassword JohnDoe

   The result is the following code:

   taVCmTLTWWgkTvfvavu/7g==:sROM4ZbvqRDFYMobWXqvwg==

   Important: If you are running the utility from a different directory, replace utility.jar with the exact path to the utility.jar file.
3. If the utility fails with a ClassNotFoundException exception, set your Java home to the following directory before you run the utility again: install_root/AppServer/java/bin/java
   For example:

   • java -cp install_root/BPM/Lombardi/lib/utility.jar com.lombardisoftware.utility.EncryptPassword JohnDoe
   • java -cp install_root\BPM\Lombardi\lib\utility.jar com.lombardisoftware.utility.EncryptPassword JohnDoe
4. Replace the existing encrypted password in your Business Automation Workflow configuration files as described in the topic Enabling encrypted passwords in proxy settings.
   Restriction: You cannot use the EncryptPassword utility to decrypt passwords that are already encrypted.
