credentials

Name

credentials — create file-based credentials

Synopsis

Supported for RTacl:

credentials file_name 
credentials file_name –basic username password 

Description

The credentials command creates file-based credentials for the Basic Security. The credentials, which are a username and password, are written to the file_name file. The password is encrypted before being written to the file.

To use file-based credentials, you must also make the file available to your process by setting the Auth_Data_File option.

Specifying just the filename, without the username and password, prints the contents of the credentials file.
