Query Regarding Password Encryption for Linux Agent Integration with CyberArk

I need clarification on how Commvault encrypts passwords during the Linux agent installation process. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a way to encrypt a password (similar to what happens during installation) so that we can integrate with CyberArk for password rotation.

The goal is to rotate the password in CyberArk, then encrypt it in the same manner Commvault does, and finally update the salt(using to automate agent install) with the encrypted value.

I noticed there is an encrypt binary being called and also references to an update_pkginfo file, but I couldn’t find any documentation on how to use them for this purpose. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to manually reinstall the Commvault Linux agent every 6 months or so just to get the updated encrypted password to align with CyberArk and AD.

Could you please provide guidance or documentation if this can be achieved?
