Create a Text File for User ID and Password

Another option to enhance runube security in a UNIX or IBM i environment is to create a text file. When the runube command is submitted, the system reads the text file and uses the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password as indicated in the text file.

In the text file, enter the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID on the first line and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne password on the second line, as indicated by this example:

UID
PWD

In the runube command line, enter one of these options as the UID:

• -F

  The system reads the file where the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password reside and closes the file. The file remains intact.

  Caution: This poses its own security risk as the file with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password remain in the system.

• -Fe

  The system reads the file where the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password reside, encrypts the password if it is not already encrypted, and then writes the encrypted password to the file and closes the file.

• -D

  The system reads the file where the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password reside and deletes the file. This is the recommended option.

This is the format of the runube command line when using a text file:

runubeUID PWD ENV ROLE REP VER JQ B/I P/H S/D PTR

Component	Description
UID	Enter -F or -Fe -D so that the system knows to fetch the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password from a file.
PWD	Enter the entire path and file name of the text file where the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID and password reside.
