Working with the Event Routing Ciphering Utility
The Event Routing ciphering utility enables you to encrypt a given value and use it as a secret key. You can then use the new encrypted value to replace the secret key used by Event Routing to encrypt and decrypt passwords specified in your service definitions. The Event Routing ciphering utility is delivered as part of your Software AG installation and can be found as a .jar file in the Software AG_directory /common/conf/event/routing directory.
