Password decoding troubleshooting tips

If the password encoding is corrupted and you cannot decode a password, you can complete one of the following tasks.

  • If the password is contained in a server configuration file, edit the file and set the password to the clear text value. After changing the value, restart the server.
  • If the password is contained in the sas.client.props file or the soap.client.props file, edit the file and set the password to the appropriate clear text value. After changing the value, use the PropFilePasswordEncoder utility to encode the password. For more information on the PropFilePasswordEncoder utility, see thePropFilePasswordEncoder command reference.

The profile-specific setupCmdLine QShell script contains a property that you can use to obtain trace information when using the OS400 algorithm with Java clients and administrative commands for WebSphere Application Server. To obtain the trace, set the os400.security.password.debug property to true. The trace is printed to standard output.
