25.10 Encoding the ZENworks Server Password

When you configure the XML configuration file prior to performing a mirroring operation, you specify your ZENworks Server’s password in the LocalServer section. To provide enhanced security, you can encode the password before placing it in the configuration file.

To encode the ZENworks Server’s password, execute the following command:

echo mypassword | recode ../b64

where mypassword represents your ZENworks Server’s password. You can then use the resulting text in place of the clear text password.
