INFA_DEFAULT_PWX_OSEPASSWORD

INFA_DEFAULT_PWX_OSEPASSWORD environment variable applies to the infacmd pwx command line program.
Some infacmd pwx commands require an operating system password. You can provide an encrypted password as an option with infacmd pwx, or you can store it as the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_PWX_OSEPASSWORD.
Use the following steps as a guideline to use an encrypted password as an environment variable:
  1. 1. To encrypt the password, use the pmpasswd command line program.
    2. The pmpasswd program generates and displays the encrypted password. For example, if you enter the password “monday,” it encrypts to f/wRb5PZsZnqESTDPeos7Q==.
  2. 2. Configure the password environment variable to set the encrypted value.
