There are two methods for generating encryption strings.
Note: If you have a non-default password for your CA Signed Certificate/KEYSTORE FOR HTTPS configuration, you will only be able to use the encrypted string for the non-default password in Spectrum-Container properties. The server may not start if you use plain text for the for the non-default password.
Method one
Use the *.jar file utility, SpectrumDirectory/server/bin/password-utility.jar to generate the encryption string for the Spectrum default password.
Note: If you run the encryption of the same password multiple times, this will generate
different strings. This provides additional encryption strength and security.
Generate an encrypted string for the default password, p****s.
Specify the command:
java -jar password-utility.jar -p password
where:
- password is your site's password
Sample output:
###########################################################
############ Encrypted String for the password ############
