About this task
You can start Packaging Utility with the
-secureStorageFile and
-masterPasswordFile options. The credentials that you use for this instance of
Packaging Utility are stored in the secure storage file. For information about these options, see
Command-line arguments for the pucl command.
What to do next
When you store credentials for a repository, the credentials
are saved to the secure storage file.
Note: Starting in version
1.7, if you do not specify the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options,
Installation Manager uses the Equinox Secure Storage mechanism from
Eclipse by default to store credentials and generate a default storage
file that is secured with a predefined password. In older versions,
a key ring file was used to store the credentials by default. The
key ring file is not supported with version 1.6.2 and later.
Note: After
you upgrade to version 1.7 or later, you cannot authenticate with
secure storage files that were created in an earlier version. You
must re-create those secure storage files.
