Administrator's Manual 28. Using the Encryption Tool
28 Using the Encryption Tool
The following describes how to use the Encryption tool.
28.1 Encrypting Configuration Files
This procedure describes how to encrypt the Configuration file. For example, you may wish
to encrypt the configuration file when it is send over an unsecure network.
¾
To encrypt the configuration file:
„
At the command line prompt, specify the following:
encryption_tool.exe –f <filename>.cfg
where <file name>.cfg specifies the name of the Configuration file that you wish to
encrypt.
Once the Configuration file is encrypted, it receives the suffix ‘.cfx’ (e.g. Conf.cfx). This
is the file that you should specify in the ‘Configuration URL’ and the ‘Dynamic
Configuration URL’ fields when performing automatic provisioning (see Part II
‘Automatic Provisioning’).
28.2 Encrypting Passwords in Configuration File
This procedure below describes how to encrypt IP phone passwords used in the
configuration process, for example, the ‘System’ password and the ‘SIP Authentication’
password.
¾
To encrypt passwords:
1. At the command line prompt, specify the following:
encryption_tool.exe –s <password_string>
where <password_string> specifies the string of the password that you wish to
encrypt.
Once the password is encrypted, a string is generated with the following syntax:
{"<encrypted_string>"}
For example:
{"0qrNRpSJ6aE="}
2. Copy the generated string (including the {“ “}) with the syntax specified above to the
relevant parameter in the Configuration file.
For example, if you encrypted the SIP authentication password, the following is
displayed in the relevant line in the configuration file:
voip/line/0/auth_password={"0qrNRpSJ6aE="}
Note: It is recommended to encrypt the System password using this procedure.
If you choose not to do so, then the System password is by default
encrypted using MD5.
