I have a build customer for whom I just set up a new RTC Jazz Build Engine.

How about using a copy tool that can accept a password file? I don't have any such tools in mind though.
@dnong — A good thought, and that is the workaround that I am using today.
However, for long term use – given our passwords need to be changed every 90 days – it would be more elegant to use a Build Def property if possible.
Are you aware of this similar discussion?

The idea is that as long as you need to pass a password from one application to another application via command line, it will be clear text. Is your situation similar or different?
@dnong — Thanks for your suggestion.
I was not aware of that thread but after reading it, I find that it does not pertain to my use case. I am not using Rational Build Forge for this customer. The only two apps involved for me are the RTC Build Toolkit & the RTC SCM server.
so in a way my question is much easier as I do not depend on a BF adaptor.
