`amsfopasswd` Script

The amsfopasswd script accepts the Message Queue broker password in clear text and returns the encrypted password in a file. You can then use this file as input to the amsfo script (PASSWORDFILE variable).

The amsfopasswd script is located in the following directory:

Solaris systems: AccessManager-base/SUNWam/bin
Linux systems: AccessManager-base/identity/bin

The default AccessManager-base installation directory is /opt on Solaris systems and /opt/sun on Linux systems.

Use the following syntax to run the amsfopasswd script.

amsfopasswd -f filename | --passwordfile filename 
            -e password | --encrypt password
amsfopasswd -h | --help

The following table describes the amsfopasswd script arguments.
