I wrote a very small Rexx File on S390 to secure the password.
I guess this way would work on all platforms =>
1) There is a textfile, which only the specific user can read/write. Inside is
the user and the password
2) There is a rexx, which first reads the user specific textfile and afterwards
calls the dsmadmc with id/password like this
"DSMADMC -ID=" !! id !! " -PASSWORD=" !! password !! "'";

Hello,
it would solve a few more security problems if there were a dsmadm.rc file
which would allow to specify some options for the dsmadmc command
including id and password. This way dsmadmc itself would read the file
with the password and it would not occur on the command line.
Best regards
Gerhard
