Encrypt/Decrypt .properties files
You can encrypt the transport.properties and common.properties files to protect sensitive information such as passwords that are stored in these files.
Use the APSecureClient tool to encrypt and decrypt these files for use with the EPIC client. This tool is included as part of the EPIC client download.
The APSecureClient tool uses an enhanced security algorithm as of xMatters 5.5.61. Files encrypted with previous versions of the APSecureClient tool can still be used with the EPIC client. However, it is recommended to re-encrypt your files with the APSecureClient tool using the "migrate" option.
The command line syntax for running APSecureClient is as follows:
Windows:
APSecureClient.bat <operation> <infile> <outfile>
Unix:
./APSecureClient.sh <operation> <infile> <outfile>
