Encrypting sensitive strings for Translation Manager

The TranslationManager.xml is the Translation Manager configuration file. You can encrypt passwords in the TranslationManager.xml configuration file using the encryption tool delivered with Translation Manager.

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.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to your Tridion installation /Translation Manager folder.
  2. Run the executable with the following command to encrypt passwords:
    EncryptTranslationManagerConfiguration.exe /e
  3. Run the executable with the following command to decrypt passwords:
    EncryptTranslationManagerConfiguration.exe /d

Results

The tool encrypts or decrypts all places in the TranslationManager.xml configuration file where a password attribute is found. If encryption failed, the tool remains open and describes the nature of the errors. Fix the errors before proceeding.
