For security reasons, the password must not appear in plain language within the tenant configuration. It is therefore hashed via an algorithm to prevent it from being decrypted.

The antidot-fluidtopics-tools provides the ft_hash_static_realm_password command that hashes a password to the right form.

Run the following command:

As antidot user

ft_hash_static_realm_password -p this_is_my_password

The following result should appear:

11:29:38 INFO: The password to set in the configuration is aXHBEChodHJgUflUhziht7yDjCse/ExKKTJLb1er5ig=

In this case, the aXHBEChodHJgUflUhziht7yDjCse/ExKKTJLb1er5ig= must be set in the password property.

Only the user password needs to be hashed using this command for the Static Realm Configuration, contrary to the authentication needed for basic access.

If this command returns the following error message: "command not found", please ensure that you correctly set the PATH variable.
