Installation Password or Passphrase

During installation, you create a system passphrase for your Sterling B2B Integrator installation. The passphrase is a highly complex string longer than 16 characters. The system passphrase is required to start the system and to access protected system information.

The only person who can update or change the passphrase is the person who created/installed the software. If you lose or forget your passphrase, you will not be able to start the system. The only user that can update the system passphrase is the user that performed the installation.

The system passphrase is not stored by the system, except on Windows installations, where it is stored in an obfuscated form in security.properties to facilitate the system running as a non-interactive service. It can be stored in the clear on other platforms in security.properties so you do not have to enter it on the command line when you start the system. However, the system passphrase is only protected by operating system file access control.
