Unable to connect to database with keyring file

SA-63666

Summary



Unable to connect to the database while executing bix.bat on the Command Line.


Error Messages



Unable to connect to database - User ID or password is invalid.


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) 7.3.1.
  2. Configure prbootstrap.properties, prconfig.xml, and bix.xml.
  3. Run the BIX process through the bix.bat on the Command Line.


Root Cause



Configuration issue in prconfig.xml and bix.xml.
The encrypted password in prboostrap.properties was taken from pegarules.keyring file.


Resolution



Perform the following local-change for password encryption and to use pegarules.keyring:

1. Run the below command line for database password encryption for prbootstarp.properties.

java -classpath ".;./lib/prbootstrap.jar;./lib/prbootstrap-api.jar;./lib/prdbcp.jar;./lib/jsr94-1.0.jar;./lib/ojdbc7.jar;" com.pega.pegarules.pub.PassGen password  (Modify the database JAR file based on the database)

2. Use the password generated in ' ' (this is an encrypted password), in prbootsrap properties, instead of using an unencrypted password.

3. Perform the below to generate the pegarules.keyring file:
  • Add the below script in the prconfig.xml for encryption:

    <env name="identification/KeyringPrefix" value="xxxxxxxxxxxx" />
    <env name="identification/KeyringAlgorithm" value="AES" />
    <env name="identification/KeyringLength" value="256" />

      
  • Run the below command line on the the Command Prompt:

    java -classpath ".;./lib/prbootstrap.jar;./lib/prbootstrap-api.jar;./lib/prdbcp.jar;./lib/jsr94-1.0.jar;./lib/ojdbc6.jar;" -Dpegarules.config="config\prconfig.xml" -Dcom.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.properties.url="file:///G:/Product_Collaterals/PRPC718/Additional_Products/BIX/config/prbootstrap.properties" -Dpega.prbootstrap.config="config\prbootstrap.properties" -Dcom.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.ignorejndi=true -Dpegarules.logging.configuration="config\prlogging.xml" com.pega.pegarules.pub.PegaRULES com.pega.pegarules.exec.internal.util.crypto.KeyringImpl .\config\pegarules.keyring .\config\prconfig.xml G:\Environment\PRPC718\apache-tomcat-7.0.30\webapps\prweb\WEB-INF\classes (Modify the JAR, URL, and the path mentioned)
4. Add the below script in bixxml as a JVM argument when the pegarules.keyring is generated.

<jvmarg value="-Dpegarules.keyring=config/pegarules.keyring"/>

5. Run the bix.bat on the  Command Line.
