and as as quick and hopefully helpful note - encrypting a user's username and password is not what keytool is for.

and encrypting passwords is not what anything is for. Passwords should be digested, not encrypted.

Indeed. I would suggest using the "large intestine" (also called the colon algorithm). On a more serious note, you may also want to look into MD5, MD6 and SHA, though - MD5 is no longer considered to be a good choice.
