Creating Keystore using Keytool

1. Open Command Prompt.
2. Go to the directory where JRE is installed (for example, C:/Program Files/Java/jre8/bin).
3. Run the following Keytool command to create a Keystore.
4. andC

For Windows:

keytool.exe -genseckey -keystore <Keystore_path> -storetype <store_type> -storepass <Keystore_password> -keyalg AES -keysize 256 -alias <alias_name> -keypass <Key_password>

...

        <alias_name> is the name to be given to the newly created key.

        <Key_password> is the password protecting the use of the key.  

The Keystore is generated at the specified location. Exit from the Command Prompt.

...

1. Login to Adeptia Suite as an administrator.
2. Go to Administer > Setup > Application Settings > Update System Properties.
3. Expand Systems > Data Encryption at rest.

4. Set the value in the below parameters:

   Property Name	Description
   abpm.security.data.encryption.rest.enable	To enable or disable data encryption at rest. The possible value can be either Yes or No.
   abpm.security.data.encryption.rest.keystoreLocation	Location (absolute path) of the Keystore that will be used for data encryption.
   abpm.security.data.encryption.rest.alias	Alias name for the key.
   abpm.security.data.encryption.rest.keystorePasword	Password of the Keystore.
   abpm.security.data.encryption.rest.keyPassword	Password of the Key.

   
   

5. Click Save.
6. Click Reload Configuration to reflect the changes.

7. Restart Kernel and WebRunner.

...

After you have encrypted the data, enable the Encrypting data at rest feature. When the utility executes, you will have the encrypted data in the repository including the previous one. 

...

Using Encryption Utility

You can encrypt or decrypt the repository using Encryption Utility. To encrypt or decrypt, you need to configure the encryption properties in the encryption-info.properties file.

...

1. Download Encryption utility.
2. Extract the Encryption_Utility.zip file in the bin folder where Adeptia Suite is installed, for example, C:/Program Files/Adeptia Suite/AdeptiaSuite-x.x/bin/Encryption_utility.
3. Open the extracted folder.
4. Open encryption-info.properties file in any Text Editor.

5. Provide the values for the following properties.

   Property Name	Description
   encryption.repository.path	Path of the folder to encrypt or decrypt. If you are using the utility in the Windows environment, separate the path by either using a backward slash "\\" (C:\\Smith\\Encrypt) or forward slash "/" (C:/Smith/Encrypt).
   encryption.keystore.location	Keystore location. If you are using the utility in the Windows environment, separate the path by either using a backward slash "\\" (D:\\Encrypt\\keystore.jck) or forward slash "/" (D:/Encrypt/keystore.jck).
   encryption.keystore.alias	Alias name for the Keystore.
   encryption.key.password	Password of the key.
   encryption.keystore.password	Password of the Keystore.
   encryption.excluded.file.pattern	Regex pattern to exclude files. You can define the pattern of the file here that you don't want to encrypt/decrypt. For example, in the screenshot below as per the given pattern, the utility will not encrypt the file in a format where there are numerical values of 30 characters on both sides of the exclamation sign.

    

   
   

6. Save the file.
7. Go to the extracted folder. 
8. For Windows, double-click encrypt.bat.
   For Linux, execute encrypt.sh on the Terminal.
   The utility starts running.
9. To encrypt the folder, press 1.
   To decrypt the folder, press 2.
   
   
   
   

10. The utility starts encrypting or decrypting the folder. A message "Encryption or Decryption has successfully completed" indicates successful encryption or decryption.

    Info
    You can view the details of the execution from the encryptionUtils.log file available at C:/Program Files/Adeptia Suite/AdeptiaSuite-x.x/bin/Encryption_utility. You can also find the reason for the failure of the execution from this file.
