preferences.properties file

You can control scm command line client properties through the preferences.properties file. By default, this file is stored here: ~/.jazz-scm, but you can specify other locations by setting scm –config /path/to/other/location. The file can contain two values: repository.timeout and password.mask.

repository.timeout

This value controls the duration of the connection timeout between the scm executable and the Jazz™ repository. It is set in seconds.

password.mask

When set to True, your password is hidden on password prompts; in other words, when -P is not specified on the command line. If this is set to any other value, your password is echoed.
