Bug

@Corona688

You are right in general but here i have a simple design.Encrypted password stored in a file,decrypted by my script and directly passed to expect script.Its not a robust design but satisfies what i must do now.

@sysgate

Link helps me understand the concept but does not help my situation.I wish to write a simple-to-moderate (complex) script to decrypt the encrypted password.

Requesting everyone to advise on how can this be done.

Regards
Abhi

NAME
chkey - change user's secure RPC key pair SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ DESCRIPTION
is used to change a user's secure RPC public key and secret key pair. prompts for the old secure-rpc password and verifies that it is cor- rect by decrypting the secret key. If the user has not already used to decrypt and store the secret key with registers the secret key with the local daemon. If the secure- rpc password does not match the login password, prompts for the login password. uses the login password to encrypt the user's secret Diffie-Hellman (192 bit) cryptographic key. ensures that the login password and the secure-rpc password are kept the same. The key pair can be stored in the file (see publickey(4)), the NIS map, or entries in the LDAP directory. If a new secret key is gener- ated, it will be registered with the local daemon. If the source of the is not specified with the option, consults the entry in the name service switch configuration file (see nss- witch.conf(4)). If the entry specifies one and only one source, then will change the key in the specified name service. However, if mul- tiple name services are listed, cannot decide which source to update and will display an error message. The user should specify the source explicitly with the option. Non root users are not allowed to change their key pair in the file. Options Re-encrypt the existing secret key with the user's login password. Update the NIS database. Update the database. Update the LDAP database. WARNINGS
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported. LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming services based on LDAP. AUTHOR
