When you configure an OpenEdge server to access a keystore entry, you must
provide it with the same password that you used to create the keystore entry. If you configure
the server using OpenEdge Management, you can enter this password directly in the fields
provided. However, if you configure the server by manually editing the ubroker.properties file for that server or specifying the password
on a command line or in a startup script (as required when starting a database server for the
OpenEdge RDBMS), you must provide an encrypted value for the password. This will protect the
password itself from being easily discovered. OpenEdge provides the genpassword command-line utility for obtaining a password's encrypted value. For
more information, see Use genpassword to obtain a keystore password-encoded value.
