How to Set Master Key for Password Encryption on Data Flow Probe

This section explains how to set a master key for password encryption on Data Flow Probe. This key is updated with a new pass. The updated pass is stored in the DataFlowProbe.properties file.

To set the master key for password encryption on Data Flow Probe,

  1. Access the Data Flow Probe JMX console. On the probe machine, launch a Web browser and enter the following address: https://localhost:8453.

    You may have to log in with a user name and password.

    Note If you have not created a user, use the default user name sysadmin to log in.

  2. Locate the type=MainProbe service and click the link to open the Operations page.

  3. Locate the changeMasterKey operation.

  4. In the pass field, enter the new pass to change master key.

  5. In the repass field, enter the new pass again to double confirm.

  6. Click Invoke.

    The result of the invocation is a message like the following:

    The key is changed successfully.

Note For Data Flow Probes installed in separate mode, you need to change the master key on both probe gateway and probe manager.
