Converts clear text password into non-clear text passwords.

The following table describes the arguments of the hash password command.

Option Description
nodename Application node name.

This command prompts the user for a password and converts the password into an non-clear text format.

Note: The password text entered by the user is not displayed at the command prompt. The behavior is similar to the way UNIX handles a password.
The following is a typical output from this command: 
>provadmin hash password nodename=banks
[ The password to convert, hidden ]
