|   | This object is deprecated and not considered secure. For more information, refer to the [Deprecated](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pinggateway/release-notes/deprecated.html) section of the *Release Notes*.Consider using AM's password replay post-authentication plugin class `com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.JwtReplayPassword`. The plugin encrypts the password captured by AM during authentication, and stores it in a session property. IG looks up the property, decrypts it, and replays the password. [Authenticate with credentials from AM](../gateway-guide/sso-cdsso.html#credentials-am). |

Generates a DES key for use with AM.

## Usage
