Password encryption
By default, base-64 encryption is enabled for all passwords when you use INI parameters. If you want to use AES encryption, then generate
an AES encrypted password by using the WyseINIkeyCrypt.exe tool.
ThinLinux supports the following two password encryption methods for all the passwords in Connections and Global settings used in the
INI parameters:
• Base64 password encryption, see Base64 password encryption.
• AES password encryption, see AES password encryption.
Copy the generated encrypted password and place it in the INI le where the password eld is mapped.
NOTE: Non-English characters are not supported for AES password encryption.
Base64 passwords encryption
By default, all passwords in the INI le are base-64 encrypted. To generate base-64 encrypted password, do the following:
1 Log in to the thin client.
2 Open xterm which is the standard terminal emulator for the X Window System.
3 Enter regencode followed by the password in plain text.
For example, if you enter thinuser@LWT- regencode password cGFzc3dvcmQ=, the encrypted output for the password is
cGFzc3dvcmQ=.
You can also use the WyseINIKeyCrypt tool to generate encrypted passwords.
AES password encryption
All passwords related to connections and users in the INI le can be AES encrypted. For AES encryption support, add
PasswordEncryptionCode=2 parameter in the INI le.
To generate AES encrypted password, do the following:
1 Log in to the thin client.
2 Copy the WyseINIKeyCrypt.exe on any windows machine.
3 Double-click the .exe le.
The Dell Wyse Password Encoder window is displayed.
