How to Encrypt the Admin Password When Used on a Batch Script

Hi there :)

In this post we will work on encryption of administration password for cloud by using the EPMAUTOMATE utility which we use in batch scripting. Below are the steps we have to follow to encrypt it.

Before continuing, ensure the EPMAUTOMATE has been installed on the computer from which you are running the utility.

1. Click Start, then All Programs, then EPM Automate, and then Launch EPM Automate.

2. Generate a password encryption file. You use the password encryption file to pass encrypted password to initiate a session.

Command Line Example:

epmautomate encrypt P@ssword1 myKey C:\Oracle\EPM\bin\password.epw

• PASSWORD is the password of the Service Administrator in the service. You cannot use corporate credentials with the EPM Automate Utility.
• KEY is the private key that is to be used to encrypt the password.
• PASSWORD_FILE is the name and location of the file that stores the encrypted password. The password file must use the .epw extension.

3. Start a session as a Service Administrator. Use a command line as describe.

epmautomate login adminid C:\Oracle\EPM\bin\password.epw

4. Sign out of the Service instance.
