A password encryption utility is provided in the kit in order to store the securityCredential password in an encrypted format inside the ldap.xml file:
univiewer_server\<nodename>\app\bin\uniencoder(.bat)
This command takes the source password as an argument and displays the encrypted password in standard output.
If clearCredential is set to “NO”, cut and paste the encrypted password to the securityCredential field in ldap.xml.
Example:
uniencoder <mypassword>
Univiewer Management Server encoder procedure for ldap password
password encoding: 2AZy92dzNXYwlXb
Refer to section "uniencoder".
Even if the password is encrypted in the ldap.xml file, by default it is sent in clear by UVMS. To secure the communication refer to the previous paragraph "Password Communication between UVMS and the Directory Server".
