Last Updated : Nov 20, 2020 |

About this task

Use this procedure to run a script to convert data into unidentifiable patterns (encrypted data) to prevent unauthorized access to the data.

In this mode, your inputs become a part of the command to run the script.

Before you begin

Ensure that the POM server is running and connected to the internet.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the POM server as a root user.

    You can open an SSH session to the POM server by using an application such as PuTTY.

  2. Go to the following path:

    $POM_HOME/bin

  3. To encrypt data by using silent mode, run the following command:

    ./POMSecurityManagementTool.sh -o ENCRYPT -r 4.X_ONWARDS -d <data>

    where,

    <data> is the data that you want to encrypt.

    Note:

    For the silent mode, the POM security management tool does not display error messages.

    To see any errors while encrypting the data, read the system logs in the following file:

    $POM_HOME/logs/POMSecurityManagementTool.log
