Setting the password save preference

By default, the Configuration Manager password save preference is set to not save passwords to a file. If your site security requirements permit you to save passwords to a file, you can change the password save preference setting.

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.

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.
