<font color="red">You should make a copy of the default values prior to making any changes so that the defaults can be restored if needed. Once changed individual default values cannot automatically be restored.</font>

By default all UCD parameters are displayed in clear text. 
This means that all passwords used by Quick Deployer are visible on the process screen and recorded in the process execution log file.
This effects the following QD processes
   * *UCD Change Default User Parameters* (user passwords)
   * *Install Applications* (admin password)

This topic explains how to obscure QD passwords from the user without effecting the behavior of the *Install Applications* process.



---++ Securing user passwords
Securing the passwords will not effect the behavior of the *Install Applications* process.

   1. Open application *Rational_QD_Dept_600*, select the *Processes* tab and click on the *Change Default User Parameters* process.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SUP1.png" alt="click on Change Default User Parameters"><br/><br/>
   1. When the process opens select the *Configuration* tab and then select *Application Process Properties*. Choose the password you wish to secure and click *Edit*.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SUP2.png" alt="edit property"><br/><br/>
   1. Click on *Type* and select *Secure*
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SUP3.png" alt="select secure"><br/><br/>
   1. _The default value can be set here so that the user will not need to enter a value each time the change default users process is run. You can also change the description and label if desired.  Be sure to press *Save* when changes are complete._
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SUP4.png" alt="save changes"><br/><br/>
   1. The *Default Value* is now obscured by Urban Code and displayed as ******.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SUP5.png" alt="display obscured text"><br/><br/>
   1. Repeat for each password that you want secured.

---++Securing admin password
   1. Open application *Rational_QD_Dept_600*, select the *Processes* tab and click on the *Install Applications* process
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP1.png" alt="select Install App"><br/><br/>
   1. When the process opens select the *Configuration* tab and then select *Application Process Properties*. To secure the admin password click *Edit*.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP2b.png" alt="edit password"><br/><br/>
   1. Enter the new _Default Value_ for the property
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP3.png" alt="edit defaults"><br/><br/>
   1. If you wish to obscure the property click on *Type* and select *Secure*
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP4.png" alt="select secure"><br/><br/>
   1. _You can also change the description and label if desired.  Be sure to press *Save* when changes are complete._
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP5.png" alt="save changes"><br/><br/>
   1. The *Default Value* is now obscured by Urban Code and displayed as ******.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP6b.png" alt="display obscured text"><br/><br/>
   1. To set the default admin user name *Edit* the property and enter a default value.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/SAP7.png" alt="display obscured text"><br/><br/>
