Encrypting sensitive strings for Documentum Connector

The DocumentumConnector.config is the Documentum Connector configuration file. You can encrypt passwords in the file using the encryption tool delivered with Documentum Connector.

About this task

As it is not good practice to include sensitive data in configuration files in cleartext, it is recommended to encrypt sensitive data using the command line tool delivered with Documentum Connector.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to your SDL Tridion installation \DocumentumConnector folder.
  2. Run the executable with the following command to encrypt passwords:
    DocumentumConnector.EncryptConfiguration.exe /e
  3. Run the executable with the following command to decrypt passwords:
    DocumentumConnector.EncryptConfiguration.exe /d

Results

The tool encrypts the <DctmLoginPassword> password and, if specified, the <NotificationWebServicePassword> password in the DocumentumConnector.config configuration file. If encryption failed, the tool remains open and describes the nature of the errors. Fix the errors before proceeding.
