You can encrypt properties in the maximo.properties file to provide additional security. The properties that are encrypted
have maxprop.encrypted=1 on the database.
Before you begin
The maximo.properties file is in the <Maximo root> \applications\Maximo\properties folder.
About this task
When you encrypt a property, the unencrypted original file
remains on the file system as maximo.properties_orig. For security purposes, store the unencrypted original outside the
system file structure.
Procedure
Access maximo.properties in a text
editor.
Open a command shell and go to <Maximo root>
\tools\maximo folder.
Type encryptproperties to run the
batch file. The old file is renamed with an *_orig
extension; for example, maximo.properties_orig.
Confirm that the new file contains an encryption string
at the end.
Store the unencrypted originals (with the *_orig extension)
outside the system file structure.
