Database credentials are set in the portal-ext.custom.properties file, but the password can be encrypted to further secure your implementation.
To encrypt the database password:
To generate the encrypted password, run one of the following scripts:
Windows: /OperationsCenter_Dashboard_install_path/bin/encrypt.bat
UNIX: /OperationsCenter_Dashboard_install_path/bin/encrypt.sh
Copy and paste the encrypted password into the /OperationsCenter_Dashboard_install_path/server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.custom.properties file for the active database configuration.
If the database properties have not previously been added to the portal-ext.custom.properties, copy and paste the associated lines from the portal-ext.properties file in the same directory. Do not modify the portal-ext.properties file, as you might overwrite software upgrades that are already running.
Note that the copied encrypted password should begin with X-TEAV and must not contain any passwords on the end.
Restart the Dashboard.
