Using acencrypt
The acencrypt command-line utility converts the first line of text in a file to an encrypted line in an output file. The acencrypt utility accepts ASCII and non-ASCII strings.
Table 15‑5 lists the acencrypt parameters.
Table 15‑5 acencrypt parameters
Parameter | Description |
-input <inputFile> | Required parameter specifies the file to encrypt. Only the first line is processed as the password and subsequent entries are ignored. |
-output <outputFile> | Optional parameter specifies the encrypted output file. The default is to display the encrypted string on standard out. |
To use an encrypted password, use acencrypt to encrypt the password, copy and paste the encrypted password in acinstallinput.xml, and set the Encrypt attribute to True. Using the value of True for the Encrypt attribute means the installation program decrypts the password before using it. Otherwise, use the default value, False, and provide the password as plain text.
