Restoring the Master Password and Outbound Password Files
Before restoring these files, make sure you have read

the Passwords to determine if you can restore or need to reset.
To restore the master password and outbound password files
1. Determine which files you need to restore.
If your master password is not stored in a file, that is, your Integration Server prompts you for a master password at server startup, then you can restore just the outbound password file and the passman.cnf file. Otherwise, you must restore the master password file, the outbound password file, and the passman.cnf file from backups.
2. Determine the name and location of the files.
The passman.cnf file is always config/passman.cnf located under the server instance’s home directory (
Integration Server_directory \instances\
instance_name). By default, the master password file is config/empw.dat and the outbound password file is in config/txnPassStore.dat. If you are not sure of the location of these files on your system, look at the file config/configPassman.cnf. For information about using this file, see
About the configPassman.cnf File.
3. Shut down the Integration Server.
4. Copy the replacement files to appropriate directory.
5. Restart Integration Server.
Note:
Always back up and restore the master password file (if you use one), the outbound password file, and the passman.cnf file together.
