| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer, and Database.com Editions |
When running Data Loader in batch mode from the command line, you must encrypt the following
configuration parameters:
- sfdc.password
- sfdc.proxyPassword
Use the utility described below to perform encryption.
Using the Encryption Utility
Data Loader offers an
encryption utility to secure passwords specified in configuration
files. This utility is used to encrypt passwords, but data that you
transmit using Data Loader is not encrypted.
- Run \bin\encrypt.bat.
- At the command line, follow the prompts provided to execute the
following actions:
- Generate a key
- Key text is generated on screen from the text you provide. Carefully copy the key text to a key file, omitting any leading or trailing spaces. The key file can then be used for encryption and decryption.
- Encrypt text
- Generates an encrypted version of a password or other text. Optionally, you can provide a key file for the encryption. In the configuration file, make sure that the encrypted text is copied precisely and the key file is mentioned.
- Verify encrypted text
- Given encrypted and decrypted versions of a password, verifies whether the encrypted password provided matches its decrypted version. A success or failure message is printed to the command line.
