encrypting the password (command line switch)

Hello,

Is there a way of encrypting the password using the command line option?

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\bin\doors.exe" -u Administrator -P "MyPassword"

Thank you,
Jim

Not securely. You can hide the commandline in an exe using an encrypter or something, but those applications can always be tricked into giving the password away. A secure way to execute a DXL script using another user is to place a DXL script on a server, where the file cannot be seen by the users. You can run it over a DXL server or something like that. Maybe that helps, Regards, Mathias
