Encrypting a password

Perform the following steps on the machine with the Pentaho Server to create an encrypted password.

1. Stop the server.
2. At the command line, navigate to the server/pentaho-server directory.
3. Run the encr.bat command for Windows or the encr.sh command for Linux as shown in the example below:

   encr -kettle <password>

   An encrypted password is created and displays in the console window.

   Note: You must have a JRE or JDK installed to run this command.
4. Restart the server and verify that the password is now using encrypted values.
