Obfuscate access and secret key
Using the ASE command line interface, obfuscate the access key and secret key in abs.conf
. The access key and secret key has been sent to you through the PingIdentity welcome email. ASE ships with a default master key (ase_master.key
) which is used to obfuscate other keys and passwords. You can generate your own ase_master.key. For more information, see Obfuscate key and passwords
During the process of obfuscation password, ASE must be stopped. For more information, see Stop ASE. |
Obfuscate access and secret keys
Enter the access key and secret key provided to you in clear text in abs.conf
. Run the obfuscate_keys
command to obfuscate:
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh obfuscate_keys -u admin -p Please take a backup of config/ase_master.key, config/ase.conf, config/abs.conf, and config/cluster.conf before proceeding If config keys and passwords are already obfuscated using the current master key, they are not obfuscated again Following keys will be obfuscated: config/ase.conf: sender_password, keystore_password config/abs.conf: access_key, secret_key config/cluster.conf: cluster_secret_key Do you want to proceed [y/n]:y obfuscating config/ase.conf, success obfuscating config/abs.conf, success obfuscating config/cluster.conf, success
Start ASE after keys are obfuscated. For more information, see Start ASE.
[.filepath]``ase_master.key`` must be present in the [.filepath]``/opt/pingidentity/ase/config/`` directory for ASE to start. |
