SCM -passwordFile equivalent


David Rostocil (911410) | asked Sep 03 '09, 4:16 p.m.
I would like to use the scmtools from an automated script however as far as I can tell the only way to supply my password is through cleartext. Is there an equivalent option to the passwordFile option from the buildtoolkit library?

Thanks,
-Dave

Take a look at 'scm help login'. That will store an obfuscated version of the password in the file system.

If you want to store the password for a user other than yourself, use 'scm --config /path/to/user/directory login ...'. Remember to chmod the .jazz-scm/repositories.txt file to be readable solely by that user after you're done.
