Login properties

Specify the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services login credentials in the

restenv.properties

file. Or, you can pass the login parameters through cli using the

-u

and

-p

arguments.

You can use a password string or an encrypted password for the password parameter and the PROXYPWD parameter.

To create an encrypted password, use one of the following commands:

./paramsetcli.sh encryptText -t <password>

./paramsetcli.sh encryptText -text <password>

You can use

paramsetcli.bat

for Windows and

paramsetcli.sh

for Unix-like operating systems.

Copy the encrypted password string and replace the password or proxy password in the

restenv.properties

file with the encrypted string, and then set the

use.encryption

flag to

true

The following example shows the

restenv.properties

file with an encrypted password, an encrypted proxy password, and the

use.encryption

flag set to true:
