COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED - UEM Manager configuration option
Description
The COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED option specifies a data set (for z/OS) or file (for Windows and UNIX) that contains encrypted values for command parameters. Storing these parameters and their associated values in an encrypted data set / file can be used in situations where it is not desirable to explicitly specify them on the command line.
The parameters contained in the data set / file must be in their respective command line formats.
The data set referenced by the DD statement identified by ddname must be encrypted with the /wiki/spaces/UA73/pages/3772157 utility.
It is strongly recommended that any command data set / file containing sensitive data (including those that are encrypted) be further protected from unauthorized access using a native operating system security method, such as RACF.
Note
If the data set / file name is specified in this option, it should not be specified additionally with the COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN option. If it is, the command parameters contained in the data set / file name identified by COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN will be used.
