vcsencrypt password for generic resource in VCS
Hi,
I have query.
I installed and configured SFHA for application server, this application server has 5 services, which is running with same user name and password under service manager.
I have configured the Generic resource for each services, however, the password is not encrypted in resource attributes. So I have used vcsencrypt utility to create the encryted password and plan to update in main.conf file.
if we run vcsencrypt utility with password same as XXXXX for number of times, each time it is giving different encrpted password.
My question is I have run vcsencrypt utility with password same as XXXXX, only one time and use the same encrypted password for all the 5 generic resource attributes or need to run 5 times the vcsencrypt utility with password same as XXXXX and update the each generic resource with seperate encrypted password.
Hi NBU_13,
You can run the vcsencrypt utility once and use the same output multiple times. The utility puts out a different hash during each run so that it is hard to guess the password with the utility. Each hash that it generates is a valid hash for the password and can be used more than once if needed. Or you can use different hash for each resouce that uses the same user/password.
Thank you,
Wally
