Changelog Password Encryption Plugin

Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact UnboundID support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.

The Changelog Password Encryption Plugin adds an encrypted form of the user password attribute to ADD and MODIFY operations that include the user password. The main purpose of this is to allow changelog entries to store this encrypted form of the password so that it may be synchronized to other types of endpoints (such as Active Directory or Oracle) using the UnboundID Identity Data Sync Server.

The encryption is performed with key derived from the changelog-password-encryption-key property on this plugin. If the changelog is not enabled or the encryption key is not specified, this plugin has no effect. The encrypted value will get replicated (in a replicated environment), but this plugin must be enabled on any replica that can process password modifications.

changelog-password-encryption-key

Description
This specifies the "encryption key" that will be used as part of the password encryption process. This value should also be set as the "changelog-password-decryption-key" in the Global Sync Configuration in the Identity Data Sync Server. The encryption key is actually cryptographically derived from this value, so there are no minimum complexity requirements here. This value does need to be set on the Identity Data Sync Server, so that it can decrypt and synchronize user passwords to other destinations.

None

A string
