NAME

vxencrypt - encryption program for loginLib

SYNOPSIS

vxencrypt

DESCRIPTION

This tool generates the encrypted equivalent of a supplied password. It prompts the user to enter a password, and then displays the encrypted version.

The encrypted password should then be supplied to VxWorks using the loginUserAdd( ) routine. This is only necessary if you have enabled login security by defining INCLUDE_SECURITY. For more information, see the reference entry for loginLib.

This tool contains the default encryption routine used in loginDefaultEncrypt( ). If the default encryption routine is replaced in VxWorks, the routine in this module should also be replaced to reflect the changes in the encryption algorithm.
