Password encryption

With the help of this option, you can encrypt all user passwords for LDAP and connection between Hive and Apiary.

Note: we recommend you to activate password encryption before you set up LDAP integration and connection between Hive and Apiary.

To activate password encryption:

  1. Open the file /opt/hw-bw/config/user.ini (root privileges required);

  2. Add the option sensdata.encrypt.mode to the [main] section and set the value AES256:

    [main]
sensdata.encrypt.mode = AES256

  3. To apply changes, run the command:

    /opt/hw-bw/bin/reconfig

If LDAP settings and connections between Hive and Apiary have been already set up on the Platform, after restart it is necessary to update their settings to encrypt existing passwords.
