| TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX | 8.0.0 |
Description
If cfprofile.cfg or cfrprofile.cfg is moved from MFT PSU 8.0.0 to MFT PSU 7.2.0, a password mismatch error would be encountered.
Issue/Introduction
The password encryption method was enhanced in MFT PSU 8.0.0, so profiles created in 8.0.0 will not work in 7.2.0. In addition, the encrypted data cannot be moved among different type of machines. You should not move the profile files between Linux and AIX machines since Linux is little endian and AIX is big endian.
Environment
All supported environments
Resolution
The password encryption method was enhanced in MFT PSU 8.0.0. Profiles and Responder profiles created on MFT PSU 8.0.0 will not work on MFT PSU 7.2.0. Passwords created on version 8.0.0 can be identified because they are prefixed by "$PWD:". For example:
[Server]
luser = Secure RemoteUser $PWD:............................................
In addition, the encrypted data cannot be moved among different type of machines. For example, we should not move the profile files between Linux and AIX machines since Linux is little endian and AIX is big endian.
[Server]
