Product Feature

Complete the procedure below if you prefer to use AES 256-bit encryption for passwords in the properties file:

  1. Go to the appropriate URL below to download the unrestricted security policy for your JVM:

    For Oracle/Sun JVM 1.6: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html

    For IBM JVM: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=jcesdk

  2. Unzip jce_policy-6.zip (for Oracle/Sun) or unrestricted.zip (for IBM) and follow the instructions in the README file to install US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar.
    Tip: Refer to the README file included in the archive for detailed installation instructions.
  3. Run the crypt-properties command with the AES parameter.

    Use the appropriate command for your operating system:

    • Windows: 
      crypt-properties.bat –c <configname> -t AES
    • UNIX/Linux or z/OS: 
      ./crypt-properties.sh –c <configname> -t AES
<configname> is the name of your configuration, such as test.
Tip: If you are encrypting passwords for the default configuration, the -c configname argument is not needed.

The system will encrypt passwords in the client properties file. The system adds an {enc2} prefix, which indicates the password has AES 256-bit encryption.
