Appendix E: Encrypt Utility

For the lookup data sources that have connection strings, 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. Specify the connection string.

2. Select the option Tools > Encrypt and enter the connection string in the Input String box.

3. Click Encrypt.

   The encrypted string appears below.

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

   

   Note: As 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 encrypt the password before using the configuration created in another machine. Get an encrypted password using the encryption utility.
