Password Storage in the remote.properties File
ActiveMatrix Administrator command-line interface scripts communicate with the ActiveMatrix Administrator via the HTTP protocol. For this, the credentials (username and password) must be specified in the
remote.properties
file. Avoid storing the passwords as clear text in this file. Instead, use the obfuscation tool packaged with the product to obfuscate the password.
