Encrypting the administrator password

This topic describes how to encrypt the administrator password that is stored in the ClearQuest search properties file.

Procedure

  1. 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
  2. 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.
