DCLI Secret Input
Some command options, more commonly when connecting to vCenter Server, are of secret type. Values for command options of secret type should be provided in a secure way.
You can provide values for secure options in two ways.
- Provide the value explicitly
in the command line.
dcli> com vmware vcenter securecommand –secureoption <securevalue>
Important: Providing the value explicitly presents a security risk. - Provide the value when
prompted after initially skipping the value.
dcli> com vmware vcenter securecommand –secureoption secureoption:
