retagged Jan 20 '17, 2:38 p.m. by Ken Tessier (841●1●7) Its a mystery for me how to use the password file in the scm login command .
I see the links https://jazz.net/library/article/606/
given for all the questions asked like this. But that is not a clear answer on how to generate certificate .
Please consider dumb users like me too...
If they can generate password file in jbe why not use the same password file in scm also.
Kindly help me in a easier solution for generating certificate and using.
Thanks

Accepted answer
Note that these are two different features.
If you would like to use a client certificate (as mentioned in the linked article), you will need your security team to generate such certificate for each user. You generate a client certificate in a way almost the same as generating a server certificate. Basically the certificate verifies the identity of the holder (be it a machine or a person). Due to security concern, you should have a CA to sign off such certificates. The certificate file does not contain a password. If you want to use a password file with SCM, such feature is not yet available. The enhancement work item is still open, and the closest "solution" you can get is mentioned in the latest comment (#39) in this work item. https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/295660 kiren sk selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments The password file feature has been added to 6.0.3. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYMRC_6.0.3/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/login.html for details.
