Tools Read password from a file
Hello Gurus,

This is something i need to implement quite urgently. My requirement is as follows:

1. We are using Solaris 10, Sun Access Manager appln.
2. we need to start a domain through script (automated). Syntax of the command goes as below:
Code:
 ./asadmin start-domain --user admin domain1

after this it will prompt for a password
Code:
 Enter Password

I do not have any idea of passing the password in the command line. What i am trying to achieve is after it asks for password, it must be read it from a file where i have already maintained the details.

Please help me out... as I mentioned, it is something i need to test and implement on priority basis.
Thank You.

NAME

       trusted_extensions - Solaris Trusted Extensions

DESCRIPTION

       SolarisTM  Trusted Extensions software is a specific configuration of the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). Solaris Trusted Extensions
       (Trusted Extensions) provides labels for local objects and processes, for the desktop and windowing system, for zones and file systems, and
       for  network  communications.  These labels are used to implement a Multilevel Security (MLS) policy that restricts the flow of information
       based on label relationships. In contrast to Discretionary Access Control (DAC) based on ownership, the	MLS  policy  enforced  by  Trusted
       Extensions is an example of Mandatory Access Control (MAC).

       By  default, Trusted Extensions software is disabled. It is enabled and disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(1M) service, identified
       by the FMRI:

	 svc:/system/labeld:default

       Refer to the Administrator's Guide listed below for the required configuration of Trusted Extensions software  necessary  before  use.  The
       system must be rebooted after enabling or disabling labeld to activate or deactivate Trusted Extensions software.
