Export the password key from the Build Forge console so
that you can place it in other locations.
Export the password key used on the Build Forge engine to place
it in the following locations:
- Other Build Forge consoles that access the same database
- Computers hosting agents that are identified in Server definitions
that have password encryption enabled
To export the password key, do the following:
- In the console, go to .
Note: Password
Encryption Enabled must already be set to Yes and the
setting saved and updated in the master BFClient.conf file.
- Click Export Key File. You are asked where
to save the file.
- Specify a location, and then click Save.
Take the file to the hosts that need keys to decrypt passwords
(other redundant management consoles, agents) or encrypt passwords
(agents). Add the contents of the file (all three property settings)
to the bfpwcrypt.conf file on that host. This table
describes how the placement of the contents determines when the keys
are used.

- Encrypt new passwords

Anywhere else |

Note: When you generate a new key, an additional key is placed at
the end of the bfpwcrypt.conf file. When you export
a key, only the latest key is exported.
