Security implementation( not to display the passwords)

Post by admin »

Hi,

I run the following command from a unix shell script and I read all these
parameters by setting the profile.

dsjob -server $DWSERVER -user $DWUSER -password $DWPWD -run -param orauser=$file1 orapasswd=$file2 -jobstatus $DSPROJ $job

When I do ps -ef|grep (userid), I am able to see the passwords. Is there any way we can pass this $DWPWD in encrypted mode
to log into the datstage and also orapasswd parameter for OCI so that only the admin look at these passwords and no other IDs.

Thanks in advance

You do not need user and password or server if you are logged in as the
correct user on the machine with DataStage.

Thanks Kim.
