how to encrypt documentum user (inline password)

Guys

I'm writing a batch file which will start iapi32 session checkin, checkout an object and logout.And then email program will send out email to me. I need to know how do i create a encrypted password for the user login and checkout/checkin documents.

iapi32.exe ISSTest -Umoniter -P<password>

how do i encrypt the password ? I don't want to put plain text password in a file.

any ideas?

Look in the Content Server Admin guide for details on the encryption utility to encrypt passwords.

Thanks johnny

Here is what i'm doing

initailize the aek.key file

API>initcrypto,c,d:\documentum\dba\secure\aek.key

got OK

API>encryptpass,c,<userpassword>

got the encrypted password

copy the aek.key file to local machine and set the envionmental variable to DM_CRYPTO_FILE to d:\Monitoring\docbases\aek.key .Then try to login to API session with encrypted password but it still failed.

any ideas?

thanks

Can you establish session with unencrypted password for that user?

NasaAres

yes, i can login with plain text password remotely from my machine. Another intersting thing is I can login with encrypted password on content server machine. I'm thinking it is definitely looking for aek file when i'm logging in remotely.

OKay, i figured it out. Here are the steps below i followed to successfully login with encrypted password. I have asked EMC to create a knowledge base article so it will help others. see attachment.

another simplest way would be

Go to the location where you have your dfc.jar (If dfc.jar is not in your class path) and then run the following command

java -cp dfc.jar com.documentum.fc.tools.RegistryPasswordUtils <user password>
