If you are logging on to Security Center using command-line arguments, but you do not want to show the user's password in the command line, you can create an encrypted password file for the user and reference that file in the command line instead.
Before you begin
- Make sure you are on the workstation that the user will be using to log on.
- You must be logged on as the user for whom you are creating the encrypted password file.
- The user must have the Modify user properties privilege to create the password file. If not, as an administrator, you can temporarily grant the user this privilege before starting this procedure, and remove this privilege after the password file is created.
What you should know
IMPORTANT: The encrypted password file is unique to the
workstation it is created on, and to the user who created the file. The password
file must be created by the same user who will be logged on through the command
line, and on the same workstation that the user will be logged on to. If later
somone changes the password, the password file must also be
recreated.
Procedure
-
Click the Save encrypted password to disk button.
