Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

Now we are creating new servers and the Database application ID associated with these servers will have a passphrase instead of a password as per new update from Linux security.

 

Environment

Release : 12.1

IBM DB2

Resolution

When running the Configtool accepted a passphrase and wrote the encrypted passphrase to the WVProfiile.properties file.

 

Also, during Web Viewer 12.1 startup, it was able to decode it to its original characters.

 

Web Viewer 12.1 is able to accept a passphrase as a Database password.
