Hi,
HQ-server.conf, located under SAS Environment Manager, contains an encrypted password.It was necessary to decrypt the password.
Can anyone give me advice on encrypting and decrypting a password in Linux.
Appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
Cherry.

If your encryption key starts off like this:{sas002} that means it was encoded with the SAS procedure PWENCODE. Try running this as a test:
proc pwencode in = "MySecretPassword";
run;
And you will see how a password is encrypted in your SAS log. You can't decrypt it so you need to keep your original password to know what it was to start with. Keeping your passwords in a password safe is good practice.

Thanks for your response.
My goal is to update the SSL cert for SAS Environment Manager, and as the last step, I need to change server.keystore.password to "hyperic". I'm not sure how to verify it since it was encoded.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Cherry.
