Install and configure TcIF

Encryption of TcIF and Aurora user credentials

The IPPE TC-Aurora connector package contains the scripts_wntx/encryptpass/IPPEncrypter.jar file, which encrypts the username and password present in the credentials.txt file. Typically, the credentials.txt file contains the credentials for the TcIF Admin and the Aurora API client.

  1. Open the IPPE TC-Aurora Connector/scripts_wntx/encryptpass folder.

  2. Edit the credentials.txt file to update the username and password for the Aurora API client and TcIF Admin.

    Attribute Name User Action
    aurora-username Enter the same Aurora API client username that was set during Aurora server configuration.
    aurora-password Enter the same Aurora API client password that was set during Aurora Server configuration.
    tcif-login-username Enter the TcIF Admin username as IFAdmin.
    tcif-login-password Enter the TcIF Admin password as <Admin_Password>.

  3. Go to the IPPE TC-Aurora Connector/scripts_wntx/encryptpass folder and open the command line to set JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME. Use Java 8 or above for this utility and be sure JAVA is set in the PATH.

  4. Encrypt the credentials.txt file with IPPEncrypter.jar.

    • Navigate to IPPTCAuroraConnectorBundle/scripts_wntx/encryptpass/.
    • Run the batch file IppeEncrypter.bat.
    • The encrypted file encrypted.enc is generated in the same directory.

Note

The encrypted.enc file is used when the TC-Aurora connector server is executed for any model.
