Avoiding Cipher Tool Password Prompt at WSO2 ESB Start up

When we use cipher tool for encrypting the configuration file passwords, whenever the ESB starts, it will prompt for the keystore password. This can be avoided by using password-tmp or password-persist files.

For temporary use, create a password-tmp file in ESB_HOME folder. This will be used only once at startup of the ESB and after starting the ESB, this file will be deleted.

For permanent use, create a password-persist file in ESB_HOME folder. This can be used lifetime.

Note: For windows the file name must be password-persist.txt andFor Linux the file name must be password-persist
