The fglpass tool

For security reasons, it is recommended that you avoid storing clear passwords in a file, or leave private keys unprotected without a password.

Using fglpass

The fglpass tool, provided as part of the Genero Web Services (GWS), allows you to:

Encrypt a password using a RSA key or X.509 certificate and encode it in BASE64 form.
Run a password agent that returns (in a protected way) the passwords that grant access to the different private keys used in all your 4GL applications.
Encode a file in BASE64 form and decode it back.

fglpass [-options]
