Encrypting dialog box information
You can install BIRT iHub to require a password to log in to the Configuration Console. The default BIRT iHub acinstallinput.xml file contains the following dialog box definition for the system administrator account:
<ConfigActuateSystemAdminDlg Visible="false">
<PasswordCtl Password="" Encrypt="false">
</PasswordCtl>
</ConfigActuateSystemAdminDlg>
There is no default password. To add a default password in clear text, replace the empty Password string with a password, as shown in the following example:
<PasswordCtl Password="ThePassword" Encrypt="false">
In this example, the string ThePassword is the default password.
To encrypt the password, use the Actuate acencrypt utility to first encode the password before you place it in acinstallinput.xml. Actuate provides acencrypt.exe in the Actuate product installation directory.
