Password storage and exposure

All user interface applications and client applications have a user name and password to connect to the MDM operational server. These passwords are also encrypted by using the WebSphere Application Server encryption mechanism. If any of the passwords are changed on the application server, then you must also apply the change in the respective component properties file as well.

Be aware that when the installer generates response files that can be used for silent installations, these files contain user passwords in plain text. If plain text passwords stored in the files are against your organizational policies, use the graphical installation mode.
