Description

The COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED option specifies the name of an encrypted command file.

Command files specify an additional source of command line options. The options read from the file are processed exactly like options specified on the command line. Encrypted command files are an excellent place to store sensitive data such as passwords.

Universal Certificate is able to process command files that are either encrypted or plain text (see COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN). Use the Universal Encrypt utility to encrypt a plain text command file (see Universal Encrypt).

Command files (encrypted or not) that contain sensitive data should be protected from unauthorized read access with file level security.

Note

If an encrypted file is specified in this option, a plain text file should not be specified additionally in the COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN option. If it is, the file specified in COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN will be used.
