Encrypted passwords with Pentaho Data Integration

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

1. Stop the server.

   For instructions on stopping the server, see Stop and start the Pentaho Server and repository.

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.
