This topic describes how to encrypt the administrator password
that is stored in the ClearQuest search properties file.
To generate a key and an encrypted password, perform the following
steps:
- In the directory where Rational ClearQuest is installed, run cqperl
cqtsdbcrawler.pl from the command line. See the cqtsdbcrawler.pl reference
help for command usage information.
Two files are created after
running this command:
- key-file.txt
- Contains a key to decrypt the password
- encrypted-password-file.txt
- Contains the encrypted password
- You can store the file key-file.txt at the same
location as your ClearQuest search properties file, CQ-db_name-dbset_name.xml, or in a folder that is accessible only to the administrator.
