.SH "NAME"
eenc \- perform password encryption for RefDB clients
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBeenc\fR\ 'u
\fBeenc\fR [\-p\ \fIABC\-DE\-FG\-HI\fR] \fIpassword\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
RefDB(7) clients send passwords to refdbd(1) in an encrypted form\&. Programmers that implement custom clients in languages other than C or Perl may use this program to perform the password encryption if implementing the algorithm in the target language is too cumbersome\&. The program writes the encoded password to stdout\&. As the encoding algorithm is symmetrical, you can use this utility to encode plain text passwords as well as to decode encrypted passwords\&.
.PP
The algorithm used by eenc is derived from the ENIGMA algorithm\&. Security is limited but should be sufficient for the purposes of a reference management software\&. Please see the RefDB manual (see below) for further information about the client\-server protocol\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-p\fR \fIABC\-DE\-FG\-HI\fR
.RS 4
The slot and rotor position string sent back by refdbd(1) during the first stage of the client\-server protocol\&. ABC denotes which wheel goes into which slot, and the remaining digits encode the positions of the wheels in slots 0 through 2\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIpassword\fR
.RS 4
The plain\-text password when encrypting, or the encoded password when decrypting\&.
