Password Encryption

To encrypt a password:

Ensure that your Configuration Manager installation directory contains a security directory that includes the following file:

encrypt_security

This file is created during the installation process. However if this file does not exist, then run the following in the <Configuration_Manager_installation_directory>\bin directory:
```
generate-keys.bat
```

Run the following command:

<Configuration_Manager_installation_directory>\bin\encrypt-password <options>

The command line <options> can be:

Option	Description
-p <password> --password <password>	Encrypt a single plain-text password.
-d <folder> --dir <folder>	Use the encryption keys located at the specified path. If this option is not specified, the default key location is <cm-installation>\security, which is where the Generate Keys utility creates the private and public key.
