Encrypt Passwords

To encrypt a value, follow these steps:

1. Create a Java class.

2. Add voltmxserver-utils.jar to your class path.

   Path for voltmxserver-utils.jar: <USER_INSTALL_DIR>/VoltMXFoundry_Plugins/middleware/voltmxserver-utils.jar

3. Call the method EncryptDecryptText.encryptText(<valueToEncrypt>). This will return encrypted value.

   Important: Ensure that you encrypt the following placeholder values for Admin before executing Flyway migration.

   For Admin:

   -  VOLTMX_SERVER_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD
   -  VOLTMX_SERVER_STORAGE_DATABASE_PASSWORD

4. Add dependency jars to the Library.

   • commons-io-2.4.jar can be found at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-io/commons-io/2.4
   • log4j-api-2.17.1.jar can be found at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-api/2.17.1

To encrypt a Tomcat value, follow these steps:

1. Create a Java class.

2. Add serverdeployer.jar to your class path.

   Path for voltmxserver-utils.jar: <USER_INSTALL_DIR>/VoltMXFoundry_Plugins/middleware/serverdeployer.jar

3. Call the method CryptoUtils.encrypt(<valueToEncrypt>. This will return encrypted value.

4. Add/Update the password field of the user in the tomcat-users.xml file, located in the tomcat_Install_dir/conf folder. Set the role name to manager.

   For example:

<user name="manager" password="7fd20649-e534-4915-b4c5-d8e1a2cbb579" roles="admin-gui,manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/>  
    <role rolename="admin-gui"/>  
    <role rolename="manager-gui"/>  
    <role rolename="manager-script"/>  
    <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>  
    <role rolename="manager-status"/>  
    <role rolename="manager"/>
