Encrypting a password

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

1. Stop the server.

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

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.
