Password Encryption

If you select the Password Encryption option the Wizard presents you with the Copy Encrypted Password to Paste Buffer form, which prompts you to enter a password.

Encrypted passwords held in the Model Management configuration file enable automated logins. The password must agree with the password for the nominated USERID in the underlying database system. If that password is changed, a corresponding change must be made to the configuration file. The Model Management Wizard provides the required password encryption. When running the Model Management Wizard the administrator merely selects this option and enters the password twice.

This encrypted password is automatically copied into the Paste Buffer and can be pasted into the DATABASE section of the {project}.cfg file. For example:

[DATABASE]

CONNECT-STRING | ipe

USERID | mms

PASSWORD | DCBA3B02A6A174C1648F7461524374F963ED6227963
