Passwords are encrypted by executing the Cipher Tool. Therefore, you must first install and configure the Cipher Tool as follows:

1. In any WSO2 product based on Carbon 4.4.0, you can install the Cipher Tool feature from the WSO2 feature repository. See the related topics for instructions on installing features.
2. Open the cipher-text.properties file and the cipher-tool.properties file from the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/security folder. 

3. By default, these two files are already configured with the most common passwords that should be encrypted for your product as shown below. If required, you can edit the information that you want to encrypt.

   If there are other passwords from configuration files that you want to encrypt, you can add the details to these files. For example, in WSO2 Storage Server, you will want to configure the "root" password in the rss-config.xml file. 

   • Add the following to the cipher-tool.properties file:

     Code Block
     #rss-config.xml passwords #RSSConfiguration.DEFAULT.WSO2RSS1.Password=rss-config.xml//RSSConfiguration/Environments/Environment[Name='DEFAULT']/RSSInstances/RSSInstance[Name='WSO2RSS1']/DataSourceConfiguration/Definition/Password,true

   • Add the following to the cipher-text.properties file:

     Code Block
     #rss-config.xml passwords #RSSConfiguration.DEFAULT.WSO2RSS1.Password=[root]
