Password File

If the realm service enables authentication and authorization, then you must configure credentials for ActiveSpaces processes such as tibdgnode, tibdgkeeper, tibdgproxy, and tibdgadmind.

Each service process authenticates itself to the realm service by using credentials that it reads from an ASCII password file. Specify the name and location of that file by using the client’s --user-password-file command-line parameter.

The password file consists of two lines. The first line contains the user name. The second line contains the password string. On all platforms (including Windows) the lines must be separated by the new line character \n.

You can use the masking of a password feature from TIBCO® FTL.

For more information about how to generate a masked password, see the --mask option available in the "FTL Administration Utility" section in TIBCO® FTL Administration.
