Creating Encrypted Command File for UNIX

Command File

In this example, a Universal Command command file named cmdfile.txt contains the following data:

-userid T02JAH1 -pwd thames

Command File Options

The command file options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-userid	User ID or account with which to execute the remote command.
-pwd	Password associated with -userid.

Note

If you are creating an encrypted file for use with the Universal Controller CLI (Command Line Interface), you must use the CLI command line switches to specify the user ID and password:

Encryption Command

The following command encrypts the command file using AES encryption with an encryption key MYKEY123.

uencrypt -key MYKEY123 -aes yes <cmdfile.txt> encfile.txt

Note

The name of the file containing the text to be encrypted (in this case, cmdfile.txt} must be enclosed in less than (<) and greater then (>) characters.

The resulting encrypted command file, in this case, is encfile.txt.

Command Line Options

The command line options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-key	Encryption key used by the encryption algorithm.
-aes	Specification for whether or not AES encryption is used.

This encrypted command file now can be used by any Universal Agent command, on any operating system, by specifying the encryption key MYKEY123.
