[SOLVED] How to use cryptpassword.pl

[intrepidfroot]

Hello,

I'd like to encrypt the passwords stored in the config.pl but have been unable to find any documentation/posts etc on the subject.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Just tried this out on my test system and it seemed to work ok. Run the following from the command line:

perl /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.CryptPassword.pl yourpassword

Replacing 'yourpassword' with the database password you have in /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm. This will give you output that looks like the following:

bin/otrs.CryptPassword.pl <Revision 1.5> - to crypt database password for Kernel/Config.pm
Copyright (C) 2001-2010 xxx, http://otrs.org/
Crypted password: {7909b8}

Just replace your password in Config.pm with the Crypted password, including the braces, and you should be good to go.

Thanks CSL,

works a treat. I was excluding the { }'s which was causing my issue.

Have a good day!
