Hi, I need a referral about remediating AIX scripting that was written with passwords in clear text. These are maintenance scripts, batch jobs, etc.
I have a inherited an AIX platform with scripts with passwords in clear text. They are now hashed, but that is insufficient and they need to be encrypted. My background is mainframe DB2, not AIX security protocols, so am asking IBM-main for assistance. In AIX, there are groups and users, and/or AD groups and users. How do I cause the scripts to read an encrypted password file instead of using the password in clear text or hashed? Are there special flags on AIX or AD groups to make id's non-logon, like RACF with no TSO profile? I'm investing in doing it right going forward. References and best practice advice is sincerely appreciated.
