Enabling password encryption for BIX command-line extractions
Enable security for the database username and password by implementing a
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) keyring encryption. To do so, create a
pegarules.keyring file and append the encryption information to your
command-line extraction Java method.
For additional details on creating a keyring for other instances of database password, see article How To Encrypt Database Passwords Using a JCE Keyring file.
Open the
prconfig.xmlfile with your text and source-code editor, such as Notepad++.Below the line that contains the element
<env name="database/databases/PegaDATA/password" value="a_password " />, add the following keyring prefix element to create theBIX-extract.kerying: <env name="identification/KeyringPrefix" value="BIX-extract" />Specify an encryption algorithm by adding the following
identification/KeyringAlgorithmelement:Specify the length of the key that you want to use to encrypt the file by adding the following
identification/KeyringLengthelement:Save and close the
prconfig.xmlfile.Run your command-line extraction with the following changes:
Add the
KeyringImplJava class: com.pega.pegarules.crpyto.KeyringImplAdd the directory and file name in which you want to generate the
pegarules.keyringfile.Add the directory location of the
prconfig.xmlfile.Add the Extract Java class and its distribution directory.
