GenerateEncryptionKey
Generate an encryption key to secure sensitive data, such as passwords, in the Informatica domain.
The GenerateEncryptionKey command uses the following syntax:
GenerateEncryptionKey [<-EncryptionKeyLocation|-kl> encryption_key_location]
-EncryptionKeyLocation. Directory that contains the current encryption key. The name of the encryption file is sitekey. Informatica renames the current sitekey file to sitekey_old and generates an encryption key in a new file named sitekey in the same directory.
To run the command again when there are at least two sitekey files in the directory, ensure that you back up the sitekey files. You can then run the command to create the sitekey file before you restore the backup sitekey files.
The sitekey is unique. Make sure that you save a copy of this unique site key. If you lose the site key, you cannot generate the site key again. Do not share the unique site key with others.
