InstallAnywhere 2020 SP1
Caution • Encryption is not fully supported for merge modules. Sensitive information that requires encryption should not be included in a merge module.
Encrypting your variable values can make your installers more secure. The values of encrypted variables are stored only in their encrypted form. An InstallAnywhere-generated installer decrypts encrypted variables when the installer needs to retrieve or set their values, but records only the encrypted values in installer output, such as install scripts, install logs, response files, and installer debug output.
Tip • To specify the type of encryption that you want your installers to use, use the Security area in the Variables view on the Project page. Using JCE encryption, along with a FIPS-compliant JCE library and supported algorithm, you can ensure that your installers are FIPS 140-2 compliant. For more information about the encryption options that InstallAnywhere provides, see Variables View.
To encrypt a variable value:
| 1. | In the Advanced Designer, on the Project page, click Variables. The Variables view opens. |
| 2. | In the Configure Variables area, click the Configure button. The Configure Variables dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Click the Add button. InstallAnywhere adds a new row to the list of variables. |
| 4. | In the Variable Name column of the new row, enter the variable name for the variable value you want to encrypt. |
| 5. | In the corresponding Options column, select Encrypt Variable Value. |
| 6. | Click OK. |
Note • To remove encryption from a variable in your project, select that variable in the Configure Variables dialog box and click Remove.
