dsscrypt

Usage

<b>dsscrypt</b> [<em>-options</em>] [<em>pwd</em>]

Description

Command dsscrypt can be used to interactively encrypt passwords that DSS accepts on the command line or in the user interface.

Argument <em>pwd</em> is optional. If not specified dsscrypt will prompt for it on the command line, not echoing the input.

If the Hub System Encryption Wallet is enabled, the passwords are encrypted using the wallet.

Regardless of whether dsscrypt is used, DSS will always encrypt passwords before saving them or sending them over the network. The passwords will only be decrypted during authorization checking on the remote location.

  • Although the password encryption algorithm is reversible, there is deliberately no decryption command supplied.
  • Secure network encryption of remote connections is provided by location property Agent_Server_Public_Certificate.
