Hi,
For using SCM CLI, can we give password (for logging in to repository) from a password file instead of typing it using -P option? RTC v6.0.1 |
Accepted answer
The following works on Windows (a similar technique can probably be used in UNIX/Linux with "cat"):
C:\Temp>type pw.txt | lscm login -r https://jazz.somedomain.com:9443/ccm/ -n jazz -u someuser -c Password (someuser @ https://jazz.somedomain.com:9443/ccm/): Logged in to https://jazz.somedomain.com:9443/ccm/ C:\Temp>lscm logout -r jazz Successfully logged out of https://jazz.somedomain.com:9443/ccm/ Note: the password prompt still appears at the terminal but nothing need be typed; it takes the password piped to it from standard in. In this example pw.txt contains the password in plain text but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have the password stored using some sort of encryption and instead of "type" (or "cat" on UNIX/Linux) use a program that will decrypt it to standard out so it can be piped to the lscm command.

That's because the -P / --password switch is not interactive so doesn't prompt. Using -c / --cache switch prompts for a password which it will take from the pipe.
