SOLVED-Jasper reports Tomcat 8.0.55 DB password ecncryption

[SETTURGOPI]

Hi Team,

we are running jasper reports 6.2 on Tomcat 8.055 on Solaris platform and DB is Oracle.

Currently we have pain text password in context.xml for DB conenction. We would like to encrypt the password such that tomcat can decypt and connect to DB each time it starts.

Please help if there simple steps to implement that.

 

Thanks,

I don't think Tomcat supports context.xml encryption out of the box. You'll need to customize Tomcat on your own.

Please refer to TIBCO JasperReports Server Security Guide document Application Security section Encrypting Passwords in Configuration Files for detail.
