Passwords

Super-user or Root Password Selection

Specify a strong password for ActiveMatrix Administrator super-user or root user, considering that a root user or super-user can perform all critical operations that can damage or destabilize the enterprise. The password should ideally consist of a minimum of 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase and lower case characters, numbers and special characters.

Password Storage in the remote.properties File

ActiveMatrix Administrator command-line Interface scripts communicate with the ActiveMatrix Administrator via 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.
