Issue/Introduction

How to mangle and unmangle passwords using the EMS Admin API.

Resolution

The mangle and unmangle password APIs are provided in the EMS Java admin library beginning with version 8.1.

  • manglePassword

    public static java.lang.String manglePassword(java.lang.String password)
                                       throws TibjmsAdminException
    Mangles a password for use with EMS.

    If the password is null or is already mangled, nothing is done.

    Returns:

    Throws:
    TibjmsAdminException - if an error has occurred.
    Since:

  • unmanglePassword

    public static java.lang.String unmanglePassword(java.lang.String mangledPassword)
                                         throws TibjmsAdminException
    Unmangles a password mangled by EMS.

    If the password is not mangled or is null then the original password is returned.

    Parameters:

    Throws:
    TibjmsAdminException - if an error has occurred.
