Encrypted passwords with Pentaho Data Integration

Perform the following steps to use an encrypted password with Pentaho Data Integration (PDI).

1. Stop the server.

2. Navigate to the design-tools/data-integration/simple-jndi directory.

3. Open the jdbc.properties file with any text editor.

4. Replace all instances of the password value with the encrypted password.

5. Save and close the file.

6. Restart the server and verify that all passwords are now using encrypted values.

After you have configured an application to use encrypted passwords, all logins with the Pentaho application will use the encrypted passwords.

Connect to any databases that were edited to ensure all changes are operating correctly.
