  1. In the XpoLog Manager menu, click Security > User General Settings.
    The User General Settings console opens. 

  2. In Old Password, type your current password.

  3. In New Password, type your new password, and retype it in Confirm Password.

  4. In Display Name, type the name to appear whenever your name is displayed in XpoLog.

  5. Click Save. 
    Your new settings are saved throughout the system. 

 

Note regarding passwords encryption and decryption
All the encryption and decryption of passwords in XpoLog are based on JCE (Java Cryptography Extension). The default encryption/decryption is using “DES” algorithm with SUN JCE Provider that uses ECB as the default mode and PKCS5 Padding (this is configurable in XpoLog).

Available encryption algorithms:

- DES: 56 bits
- Triple DES: 112 bits
- Blowfish: 56 bits
- HmacMD5: 64 bytes
- HmacSHA1: 64 bytes
