Using APNET to encrypt passwords for property files and other use cases

APNET is a utility program that provides a number of uses.  One of those is encryption of values for use primarily in property files.  

To encrypt a value, in a console window, enter:

apnet encrypt password123

which will return a response similar to:

Encrypted token="0umNX+S7Obr7uNgNy0VqAg=="

You can then take this value and store it in a property file. For example, to place this in the AutoPilot global.properties or node.properties files using the encrypted property option this would appear similar to:

property_encrypted server.domain.ldap.ldapserver1.searchpwd = 0umNX+S7Obr7uNgNy0VqAg==

In this case, the password for a ldap search has been provided but stored in the property file encrypted.  

There are other possible use cases where encrypted values are required.
