Legacy Encryption

For legacy-based $ENC encryption, use the following steps to run the encryption script and generate a password value.

  1. Navigate to the pronghorn-core node modules directory.

    cd /opt/pronghorn/current/node_modules/@itential/pronghorn-core
    
  2. Run the following command where mypassword is the password value that requires encryption.

    $ npm run encrypt mypassword
    Encrypted Password:
    $ENC8ef3972b5766e64a98df4b11d6d3221d82812e8caed3459e5a0d
    
  3. Use the encrypted password value, beginning with $ENC, instead of the plain-text values that are inserted in the properties.json file.

$SECRET Encryption

The $ENC encryption used within service configs, profiles, and the properties.json is now deprecated. The replacement is $SECRET_ followed by the path and the key used in Hashicorp Vault for encryption and decryption. Support for $ENC will be removed in a future release, and any remaining $ENC values will no longer function after its removal.

For more detail, see Manual Property Encryption for Profiles.
