Overview

To keep the database username and password secure, PhixFlow is configured to use a keystore file. The database account credentials are encrypted and stored here, along with aliases. You can then use the aliases to retrieve each secret username and password from the keystore.

To configure the keystore, you will use the Java keytool -importpass command at the command line.

Keytool Syntax

For reference, here is the full syntax and the values you will need to use. The steps below provide example commands.

<keytool> -importpass -alias <keyAlias> -keystore <pathToKeystoreFile> -storetype <keytype>

This is shown in the diagram below.
