You can use the following basic options to enable security for pwxcmd commands:
Require users to enter a valid operating system user ID and a password to access PowerExchange when they issue a pwxcmd command.
Configure PowerExchange LDAP user authentication on supported Linux, UNIX, or Windows systems to require users to enter a valid enterprise user ID and password to access PowerExchange when they issue a pwxcmd command.
Authorize specific users to issue specific pwxcmd commands.
If you enable security for pwxcmd commands, users must specify a user ID and either a password or encrypted password on all commands. Based on the type of security in effect, PowerExchange verifies that the user has authorization to either access PowerExchange or issue the command.
If you do not enable security for pwxcmd commands, users do not need to specify a user ID and password on pwxcmd commands.
