If you use passwords in configuration files, it is highly advisable not to use them in plain text.
Section Obfuscation already describes a (minimally secure) method for obfuscating passwords.
The following describes a script that can also provide an obfuscated password and additionally offers two other methods (PBE masking and asymmetric encryption with a Java KeyStore).
The script
The script can be found in folder ./bin and has the name password.bat (Windows) resp. password.sh (Unix/Linux).
You should call it from the installation directory ./ of the Integration Server. A call without further parameters outputs the usage information.
D:\IS_data> bin\password.bat
Usage - java com.ebd.util.security.Password [<user>] <password>
java com.ebd.util.security.Password -j[o] password [<salt>] [<iterationcount]> [<encpassword>] [<algorithm>]
java com.ebd.util.security.Password -k alias [<keyalias>] <password>Note: All outputs of the script are sent to STDERR, including the generated passwords.
