Password File

If the realm server enables authentication and authorization, then you must configure credentials for TIBCO FTL service components that run as client processes of the realm server (such as a transport bridge, persistence server, or eFTL server).

Each service process authenticates itself to the realm server using credentials that it reads from an ASCII password file. Specify the name and location of that file using the client’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 authorization group ftl. For details, see Realm Server Authorization Groups.

To hide the password from casual observers, you can first obfuscate the password using tibrealmadmin --mangle.
