Preparing passwords for the Server properties files

To ensure the security of your credential’s password, a tool is provided to encrypt the password before it is entered into the flashaccess-refimpl.properties or flashaccess-refimpl-packager.properties file.

To run the tool using the ANT script provided:

Go to <Reference Implementation Server Path>\refimpl
Ensure the “sdkdir” property in build-refimpl.xml points to the directory containing the Adobe Access SDK
Run the following command using ANT:
```
ant -f build-refimpl.xml
```
When prompted, type your credential’s password

To run the tool using Java:

Go to <Reference Implementation Server Path>\scrambler

From the command prompt, enter the command:

On Windows:

java -classpath path_to_adobe-flashaccess-sdk.jar; . com.adobe.flashaccess.refimpl.util.ScrambleUtil your_pfx_password

On Linux:

java -classpath path_to_adobe-flashaccess-sdk.jar: . com.adobe.flashaccess.refimpl.util.ScrambleUtil your_pfx_password

The utility outputs the encrypted password, which you must copy to the .properties file.

Note: Passwords encoded using the password scrambling utility provided with the reference implementation will not work with the Adobe Access Server for Protected Streaming.
