About the configPassman.cnf File
The configPassman.cnf file contains additional configuration settings for outbound password encryption that are not contained in the Integration Server Administrator. The file consists of a number of properties, some of which are commented out in the default configuration.
Important: The configPassman.cnf file has a companion file, passman.cnf. If you make changes to configPassman.cnf file, the Integration Server will automatically update passman.cnf to reflect these changes when you initialize the Integration Server. Never update passman.cnf directly.
As shipped, the configPassman.cnf file specifies that outbound passwords will be stored in file config/txnPassStore.dat and encrypted using Password-Based Encryption (PBE). In addition, it specifies that the master password will be stored in file config/empw.dat. Properties that can be used to specify other settings are commented out.
If you want to change these optional settings, you must edit the configPassman.cnf file. The file must always specify the following:
Encryption method for outbound passwords
Location of the file that contains the outbound passwords
Method the
Integration Server uses to obtain the master password
The following sections describe the configPassman.cnf file in detail and how to change outbound password and master password settings.
