How can I use the Vix API command line client without entering a plain text password?

Question

I am thinking of using the VMWare Vix API to manage VmWare operations. I check the documentation, but all scripts use password variables in plain text.

I am not sure about this, and I want to hash or protect this password without then having in plain text

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Since vmrun is a command line utility for the VIX API, it requires a simple text password. And your password will be displayed in the Console application.
