Full Discussion: Add password to batch command?
Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions Add password to batch command? Post 302254496 by Lakris on Tuesday 4th of November 2008 02:24:54 PM

Hi, You can use:
read -s -p "password: " pass;echo
to have the entered password stored in the variable pass.

A few hints:
Anyone who can edit the script can also change it to for example echo $pass, a security risk...
create an encrypted passwordfile, for example with
echo lakris $(echo secretpassword | md5sum ) >> .mypasswd
Make sure the passwd file is only readable by the owner of the script
Test the entered and encrypted $pass against what's in the file for a given user.

It would be a very rudimentary password handling routine but this should get You started!

       [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive] [--verbose=false]

       version displays the version information. If the command-line cannot communicate with the administration server with the  given	user/pass-
       word  and  host/port,  then  the  command-line  will  retrieve the Version locally and display a warning message. If the user option is not
       entered, the command-line will retrieve the version locally and display a warning message. The warning message will  not  be  displayed	if
       --terse option is entered on the command line.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output.

       --interactive	       prompts you for the required options that are not already specified.
