Hi there,
I looked into my .metdata/.log file and I found out that whenever I'm using scm command, the command is written to the log file while saving my password in clear text to it! :shock:
Is there a way to avoid this password saving or it least mask it?
Thanx in advance,
Harel

This is due to OSGi which our command line uses. Here's an RTC work item that tracks the issue;

but the fix would need to come from OSGi. Here's the work item at that level:

Hi Harel,

See https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/158182.

Comment 8 is most relevant. You should use 'scm login' whenever possible (since it relies on filesystem permissions to prevent your password from leaking).
