Encrypting/Decrypting passwords

You can encrypt or decrypt a password using the Manager tool. Moreover, you can generate a random encrypted password.

  • Encrypting a password

    1. Run the following command:

      <Unravel installation directory>/unravel/manager support password encrypt

    2. When you are prompted for a password, specify the password and press Enter (Return key).

      The text you enter for the password is not displayed. After you press Enter (Return key), it displays the encrypted password. For example:

      AES(851c22f6317c7268f76e37f47856406bGwRRwhq8JfYYKljmJ+Uigg==)

      This result, including the AES() part, can be saved.
