LDAP/AD password Encryption

There are two files in which changes need to be done for the password encryption

The files are present at following location

Ephesoft\JavaAppServer\conf\server.xml
Ephesoft\Application\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\dcma-user-connectivity\user-connectivity.propertie

To enable password encryption for LDAP and AD following changes are needed.

Change the className attribute in the <Realm … > tag in the server.xml
By default the className attribute in the server.xml has the following value:
<Realm className=”org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm“/>
Change the value to the following:
<Realm className=”com.ephesoft.realm.EphesoftRealm“/>
Use an encrypted password for the connectionPassword attribute in the <Realm … > tag in the server.xml
<Realm className=”com.ephesoft.realm.EphesoftRealm” connectionPassword = “mzoanUU1UD0rc1PvexuAKw==”/>
Turn on the password.use_encryption property present in the dcma-encyption.properties available at :
Ephesoft\Application\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\dcma-encryption.password.use_encryption=true
Use an encrypted password for the user.connectivity_password property in the dcma-userconnectivity.properties. user.connectivity_password=”mzoanUU1UD0rc1PvexuAKw==”

To encrypt the passwords the Encryptor.bat needs to be used available at the following location:

On running the above .bat file, and it will ask for the password string that need to be encrypted.
