Specifying passwords on the command line is insecure due to the text being visible. See the Installation and Configuration Guide for your platform for information about the arsstash command or using Unified Login.

Explanation

Specifying a password on the command line is considered insecure as the password is displayed in plain text. You should use the arsstash command to generate a stash file and pass this filename to the command or use a Unified Login for Windows or z/OS.

User response

Use a password stash file or Unified Login instead of passing a clear text password on the command line.
