The Encryption Utility — nvtencrsrv
nvtencrsrv
is a utility that installs the security directory and related files, adds encrypted
words to the password encryption file, and deletes encrypted words when they are no longer
needed. Only the administrator of the client platform can use this utility.
Invoke nvtencrsrv with the suffix corresponding to the platform you are using. For example,
if you used the jtrans.bat command to start the client on a Windows system, you invoke
nvtencrsrv.bat
. For a Unix-type platform, use nvtencrsrv.sh.
NOTE:
If the environment variable NVTHOME does not exist, nvtencrsrv returns an error.
