Creating an encrypted password file

You can create an encrypted password file that you can use with the Jazz™ Team Build toolkit Ant tasks or to start the Jazz Build Engine.
About this task
To create an encrypted password file:
  1. From a command line, navigate to installdir/buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse, where installdir is the Build System Toolkit installation directory.
  2. Type jbe -createPasswordFile pass.txt.
    Note: pass.txt can be any file name.
  3. When prompted, type the password. The password is encrypted and stored in a pass.txt file that is located in the Build System Toolkit installation directory
Results
Now, instead of specifying passwords in plain text, you can specify an encrypted password file. For example:
<startBuildActivity repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
		                    userId="${userId}"
		                    passwordFile="/home/user/pass.txt"/>
		                    ...
