Encrypting the RTView Adapter PasswordLocate this document in the navigation structure

If the isEncrypted property in the ESPOPTIONS.ini file is set to true, encrypt the RTView adapter password.

Prerequisites

Create a keystore.

Procedure

  1. Place the keystore.jks file in your RTV project folder.
    For the example project, place the keystore file in the example folder:

    STREAMING_HOME\adapters\rtview\examples

  2. Modify the encrypt.bat (Windows) or the encrypt.sh (UNIX) script in STREAMING_HOME\adapters\rtview\bin to generate an encrypted password for a given plain text password.
  3. Use the RTView Builder to delete the ESP connection.
  4. Create a new ESP connection.
  5. Provide the encrypted password in the password field.
  6. Save the connection.
  7. Select No to replace the existing .ini file.
    If you choose Yes, the file under %RTV_HOME%\lib is updated.
    Note Updating the .ini file directly may not work as the encrypted password usually contains "=" and "\" characters that have to be properly escaped and encoded. SAP recommends doing this using the graphic user interface.
