The Password Administrator utility

The Password Administrator utility allows you to perform administrative actions on encrypted installation data. This includes:

• One or more encrypted data items such as passwords may be changed in the install.cfg for Infor System Console. To do this, the current passkey is required to decrypt the current values and encrypt any changes.

• The passkey used to encrypt all the secure installation data may be changed. To do this, the current passkey is required and a new one assigned. The utility will automatically decrypt the secure data with the current passkey and re-encrypt with the new one.

• A new passkey may be defined if the current one is forgotten. To do this, all encrypted data in the install.cfg is discarded. You must then re-enter the password values, along with a new passkey to encrypt them. The password values need not be different from the existing ones.

The Password Administrator utility is launched at the command line and has both GUI and character console interactive presentations.
