DESCRIPTION

The vcsencrypt command can be used to generate encrypted passwords. The utility prompts the user to enter a password and returns an encrypted password to the user. Encrypted passwords can be used when editing the VCS configuration file main.cf to add VCS users, or when configuring agents that required user password information.

OPTIONS

-vcs: Prompts for VCS user password and returns the password in an encrypted form that can be entered manually in the main.cf file. This option need not be used when adding users through the command line or via Cluster Manager.
-agent: Prompts for user password and returns password in encrypted form. The encrypted password can be entered manually in the main.cf file as a value for a given resource's password attribute. The encrypted password can also be dynamically entered as an attribute value from the command line when modifying resource attributes.
[-help]: Displays information about this command.

EXAMPLES

# vcsencrypt -agent

Since user's entry is a password, it is not displayed on the console.
