Issue/Introduction
Can an encrypted password be used during the bwagent and AppSpace configuration?
Resolution
Yes, you can use encrypted passwords. Per the documentation, "When setting the password property (bw.engine.db.password), the default format is plain text. However, you can encrypt the password using the bwadmin command and use the generated encrypted text as the password".
The command being referred to is: obfuscate
Produce an obfuscated password from given input.
