Storing passwords in the AWS Schema Conversion Tool

You can store a database password or SSL certificate in the AWS SCT cache. To store a password, choose Store Password when you create a connection.

The password is encrypted using the randomly generated token in the seed.dat file. The password is then stored with the user name in the cache file. If you lose the seed.dat file or it becomes corrupted, the database password might be unencrypted incorrectly. In this case, the connection fails.
