Changing the password save preference

By default, any passwords that you enter in the graphical user interface in Configuration Manager are not saved to a file. The passwords are stored in memory as long as you have the profile open in Configuration Manager. You can change the password save preference to save the passwords each time that you save your changes to a profile.

About this task

When you close the profile, the passwords are erased from memory. Each time that you start Configuration Manager or open a saved profile, the passwords are blank (unless you previously changed the preferences setting). Before you can run a task, you must specify the passwords required by the task and the application server properties; otherwise, the task will not run successfully. If your site security requirements permit you to save passwords to a file, you can change the password save preference setting.

Procedure

To change the password save preference:

  1. Click Window > Preferences.
  2. Complete one of the following actions:
    Option Description
    To save passwords to file Select the Save all passwords to file when saving a task or profile check box.
    To prevent writing passwords to file Clear the Save all passwords to file when saving a task or profile check box.
  3. Click OK.
