Password File

If the realm server enables JAAS authentication and authorization, then you must configure credentials for TIBCO eFTL servers, which run as client processes of the realm server.

A TIBCO eFTL server process authenticates itself to the realm server using credentials that it reads from an ASCII password file, which you specify using the TIBCO eFTL server’s --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.

The user name must be in the JAAS authorization group ftl. For details, see TIBCO FTL Administration.

To hide the password from casual observers, you may first obfuscate the password using tibrealmadmin --mangle. For details, see TIBCO FTL Administration.
