Storing the Master Password in a File

Prompting for the Master Password at Server Initialization

The configPassman.cnf file contains properties that you can use to change settings for the master password. By default, the master password is stored in the file config/empw.dat under the server instance’s home directory. If you prefer, you can configure Integration Server to prompt for the master password at server initialization.

For more information about storing the master password in a file, see Storing the Master Password in a File.

For more information, see Prompting for the Master Password at Server Initialization.

If you are not already familiar with the configPassman.cnf file, readAbout the configPassman.cnf File before proceeding.

Important: Determine your strategy for outbound password and master password behavior before you launch and configure your Integration Server the first time. If you change these settings after the Integration Server has been configured, the master password and outbound passwords can become out of sync.

See Working with Outbound Password Settings for instructions on using the configPassman.cnf file to change outbound password settings.
