Encrypting PeopleSoft operator passwords

When you add or change the PeopleSoft operator password using the Dynamic Workload Console, the password is automatically encrypted and securely stored in the file. For added security, it is displayed on the screen as a series of asterisks.

When you add or change the PeopleSoft user password using a text editor, run the pwdcrypt command to encrypt the password before writing it in the file, as follows:
pwdcrypt password

The program returns the password in encrypted format that you can then copy and paste into the options file.
