Security

The security utilities define the security authorizations for various users and Control-M components, including:

• User registration and password changes
• Access to databases and other components

By including a utility command in the command line of a job processing definition, you can run the utility at a predetermined time or under a predetermined set of conditions without being present.

Some of the parameter names changed for Control-M version 8.0.00 and above. Terminology from previous versions is still supported.

The following utilities are used to define security authorizations for various users and Control-M components:

• emcryptocli: Creates an encrypted version of the password you submit.
• ctmsec: Protects Control-M against unauthorized usage or modification.
• ctmsetown: Manages the details of Control-M/Agent and remote host users.
• ctmpasswd: Enables you to change the Control-M/Server User’s password for accessing the database.
• ctmpwd: (Windows only) Create and modify Control-M/Agent users and passwords.
