Encoded Passwords

Files that contain encoded passwords need to be protected using file system permissions. These files include the following:

• domain-dir/master-password

  This file contains the encoded master password and should be protected with file system permissions 600.

• Any password file created to pass as an argument by using the --passwordfile argument to the asadmin utility should be protected with file system permissions 600.
