But what is the algorithm behind it?</P> <P>I would like to encrypt passwords manually, without going through the splunkd restart procedure.</P> Fri, 04 Sep 2015 18:54:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-s-the-algorithm-behind-encrypting-the-SSL-password/m-p/205153#M5896 my2ndhead 2015-09-04T18:54:02Z Re: What's the algorithm behind encrypting the SSL password? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-s-the-algorithm-behind-encrypting-the-SSL-password/m-p/205154#M5897 <P>Hi Mika,</P> <P>please open a support ticket to find out what would be the best option for you to proceed.</P> <P>Greetings,</P> <P>Holger</P> Wed, 21 Oct 2015 10:08:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-s-the-algorithm-behind-encrypting-the-SSL-password/m-p/205154#M5897 hsesterhenn_spl 2015-10-21T10:08:04Z Re: What's the algorithm behind encrypting the SSL password? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-s-the-algorithm-behind-encrypting-the-SSL-password/m-p/205155#M5898 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I'm having the same issue.
