How to have non encrypted password in a silent installation file (was password & passwordconf)

Problem

Silent file have the account password encrypted using AES128



When using the silent file installation to deploy on many machines, how can we specify a different user and password for the service used to start the monitor?


Resolution

If you don't care about the fact that the password will be in clear in the silent file, you can use either of these options:



- Encrypted version



passwordconf = hJfM3Gw1Pxji9gdS/u/Y7Q==
passwordconf.Format = AES128



-  With no encryption



passwordconf = password



-  With type none encryption



passwordconf = password
passwordconf.Format = None
