By default, you need to supply the ID and password when starting up\/shutting down the deployment manager, node or application server. Example of the command as below<\/p>\n
Deployment Manager
\n\/\/bin\/startManager.sh -username XXX -password XXX<\/p>\n
Node
\n\/\/bin\/startNode.sh -username XXX -password XXX<\/p>\n
Application Server
\n\/\/bin\/startServer.sh -username XXX -password XXX<\/p>\n
The steps to encrypt the password and ID is as follows.<\/p>\n
Insert the ID and password in clear text into the SOAP properties file at \/\/properties\/soap.client.props. <\/p>\n
# grep SOAP.login soap.client.props | grep -v “#”
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=wasadm
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=wasadm
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginSource=prompt<\/p>\n
We use the IBM provided script to encode the password.<\/p>\n
\/\/bin\/PropFilePasswordEncoder.sh \/\/profiles\/default\/properties\/soap.client.props com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword -Backup<\/p>\n
Taking a look at the same property file again, the password is now encrypted.<\/p>\n
# grep SOAP.login soap.client.props | grep -v “#”
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=wasadm
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword={xor}Es4zPjwS
\ncom.ibm.SOAP.loginSource=prompt<\/p>\n
Now, we can start up websphere and shut down without using the password.<\/p>\n
su wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/startManager.sh”
\nsu wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/startNode.sh”
\nsu wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/startServer.sh ”<\/p>\n
su wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/stopManager.sh”
\nsu wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/stopNode.sh”
\nsu wasadm -c “\/\/bin\/stopServer.sh ”
\nend.<\/p>\n
======================<\/p>\n
Some trival.
\nHow come IBM prefers to use XOR instead of some stronger algorithm like how weblogic uses 3DES? XOR is good enough only to prevent casual snooping. <\/p>\n
Someone demonstrated that with a online decoder<\/p>\n
