The configuration tasks might
require you to write security-sensitive
information, such as passwords, into multiple properties files. When
you no longer need this security-sensitive information for your configuration,
you should remove them and move the files to a safe place or set the
file permissions so that only authorized users can read them.
About this task
Complete
the following steps to delete passwords and other security-sensitive
information from the properties files:
Note: After
completing the tasks to clean up the work directory and delete the
passwords, you might find that in order to successfully perform additional
configuration tasks, you need these passwords. Some tasks require
you to add the passwords back to the wkplc.properties, wkplc_comp.properties, wkplc_dbdomain.properties,
and wkplc_sourceDb.properties files while other
tasks allow you to specify the passwords on the command line using
the –D flag. Refer to the configuration task documentation to determine
which method is required.
