Appendix D: Encrypt Utility

For the lookup data sources that have connection strings, you can store the connection string encrypted in the configuration file, as the connection string may have sensitive information such as a user name and password.

To encrypt the connection strings:

1. Determine the connection string.

2. Select the option Tools > Encrypt and enter the connection string.

3. Click Encrypt to get the encrypted version of the connection string.

4. Take a copy of the encrypted string and paste it in place of the connection string in all supported mapping configuration sections.

   

   Note: Because the encrypted password is associated with the local machine where the Gateway is running, other machines cannot use the configuration file directly. You will have to re-encrypt the password before using the configuration created in another machine. You can obtain an encrypted password using the encryption utility.
