storepasswords command parameters

-task task_type

The -task task_type parameter specifies a specific task to encrypt passwords for. You can omit the -task task_type parameter if you want to store passwords for all the tasks or if you specify the -taskfile task_file_name parameter. The task_name value is not case sensitive. The following table lists the valid task names, the associated configuration XML file, and a description of the Content Platform Engine settings affected by the task.

Table 1. task_type values
Option	Configuration file	Description
omitted	applicationserver.xml configurejdbcgcd.xml configurejdbcos.xml configurejdbcos.`n`.xml configureldap.xml configureldap.`n`.xml deployapplication.xml Where `n` is an integer greater than or equal to 2	If you omit the `-task task_type` parameter and the -taskfile `task_file_name` parameter, then you are prompted to enter the passwords for each configuration XML file in the profile. Each password is encrypted before it is added to the XML file.
configurejdbcgcd	configurejdbcgcd.xml	Encrypts the password for the `DatabasePassword` property that Content Platform Engine uses to access the GCD database.
configurejdbcos	configurejdbcos.xml configurejdbcos.`n`.xml, where `n` is an integer greater than or equal to 2	Encrypts the password for the `DatabasePassword` property that Content Platform Engine uses to access the object store database. If you have more than one configurejdbcos.`n`.xml file, run the command for each task file.
configureldap	configureldap.xml configureldap.`n`.xml, where `n` is an integer greater than or equal to 2	Encrypts the password for the `LDAPBindPassword` property that Content Platform Engine uses to connect to the directory server for authenticating Content Platform Engine users. (WebSphere® Application Server or Oracle WebLogic Server only.) If you have more than one configureldap.`n`.xml file, run the command for each task file.

-taskfile task_file_name

The -taskfile task_file_name parameter specifies the configuration XML file to use.

If only one task file exists for the task_type, then the -taskfile task_file_name parameter is optional.

If more than one task file for the task_type exists, then you must include the -taskfile task_file_name parameter. You can omit the -task task_type parameter when you specify the -taskfile task_file_name parameter.

-profile myprofile

The -profile myprofile parameter specifies the profile to use. The myprofile value can be one of the following items:

The name of the profile, such as ce_was_tiv_db2. The profile must be located in the ce_install_path/tools/configure/profiles directory, where ce_install_path is the location where the Content Platform Engine software is installed.
The absolute path to the profile directory, such as "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2.
The absolute path to the profile input file, such as "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfgp" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2/ce_was_tiv_db2.cfgp.

Remember: If the path includes a directory name with spaces, enclose the entire path in quotation marks. For example, enter "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfgp".
