About using an Encrypted Password File

For security reasons, it may not be desirable to include the actual Siebel Server administrator password on the command line. In this scenario, do a one time encryption of the password using the EncryptString utility and place the resulting encrypted string into a text file. You can then use the /ip or -ip command line flag to specify that file.

For example, enter the following command to create the password file:

encryptstring mypassword > password_file.txt

When launching the Siebel Server Manager, include this file with the /ip or -ip command, for example:

srvrmgr /u SADMIN /p password_file.txt /g gateway /e enterprise
