In Interplay (or Designer) there is a file ant-task.properties where you can define you password and use a command ant encryptPassword to encrypt it (from .../AISuite/Designer/extra/Tools folder)

Here are the steps:-

PasswordForEncryption=

2) Enter the password in plain text (here for example d)
PasswordForEncryption=d

3) Launch the command encryptPassword
encryptPassword:

getArgs:
[echo] Your password is d
[echo] After encryption, your password is FSQMO19eYv8YmOmExO5N8Q==

4) Copy/paste your encrypted password in ant-task properties
InterplayPassword=FSQMO19eYv8YmOmExO5N8Q==

5) Save

NB:
The user and Password must have been already registered in Passport (if exists)
