If I want to run the scm command line tool from a build, what ID and password would I use to logon to the repository/  How is the password kept secure?  If I want to always use the RTC Build ID, can I point to the stored password file, does the diff command know how to decrypt the password?

The ID must:

  • Be associated with the particular repository
  • Have membership/role sufficient to read source artifacts
  • Someone must know the credentials.
The scm login can cache the password.  Not sure where or how it's stored.  One only has to provide password on the scm login command.  I usually add -n short-name to the login command (short-name might be the host part of the host name for example)  Subsequent scm commands using -r short-name do not use password which I presume you mean when asking about the diff command.

Additionally; as of RTC 6.0.3 the scm CLI provides the --generatePasswordFile and --password-file options in which you can supply your (encrypted) password:

That aludes to scm login caching credentials which can be done and later connections will work.

For maximal security, you would use the password file option.   Note that although the password file is encoded, to keep the password secure you need to read-protect the password file.   This ensures that the security of the password file is at the same level as the security of the operating system that manages the file.
