Description

The USER_FILE_PLAIN option specifies a plain text file that contains the parameters and their values for the USER_ID and/or USER_PASSWORD options.

Storing these parameters and values in a file can be used in situations where it is not desirable to specify them explicitly on the command line. These parameters must be specified in their respective command line formats.

Note: This file should not be specified additionally with the USER_FILE_ENCRYPTED option. If both USER_FILE_ENCRYPTED and USER_FILE_PLAIN specify this file, the file specified by USER_FILE_PLAIN will be used.

It is strongly recommended that any user file which contains sensitive data should be further protected from unauthorized access using file level security.

UEM Server uses this information to execute an event handler process in the security context of the specified user account. An event-driven UEM Server requires this information to be stored in an event handler record if the USER_SECURITY option is enabled in the UEM Server configuration. This is the only means by which an event-driven UEM Server can access this information. Because an event-driven UEM Server is started without user interaction, it cannot prompt for user account information if it is required but not provided.
