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.
