148 IBM Content Manager OnDemand Guide
At IBM i version 7.2 and later, the following commands support the optional password stash 
file (STASHFILE) parameter:
* ADDRPTOND
* MRGSPLFOND
* STRMONOND
Using the stash file
The stash file can be used by these commands: 
/SM590000arsadmin
/SM590000arsdoc
/SM590000arsload
/SM590000arsmaint
/SM590000arsrd
/SM590000arsxml
In our example, we use arsload. The supported values for the -a parameter are available in 
the arsstash help output.
The preferred method is to set a user ID and password for each command in the stash file. 
Then, the arsload command can be run without specifying the -u userid or the -p password 
parameter. This method is always recommended when you run the arsload command as a 
daemon. To use this method, first run the arsstash command to store the user ID and 
password for the arsload command: 
arsstash -a 3 -s ars.stash -u <userid>
Then, enter and verify the password when you are prompted. When you run arsload, omit the 
-u and -p parameters. The arsload command obtains the arsload user ID and password from 
the stash file.
A second method is to specify the -u parameter for another Content Manager OnDemand 
user ID that exists in the stash file. To use this method, first run the arsstash command to 
store the user ID and password in the stash file: 
arsstash -a 1 -s ars.stash -u <userid>
Then, enter and verify the password when you are prompted. When you run arsload, specify 
the -u <userid> and -p <stash file> parameters. The arsload command obtains the 
password for the specified user ID from the stash file.
Notes:
/SM590000Y ou can continue to run the arsload command with the password in clear text. However, 
the arsload command generates a warning that specifying the password in clear text is 
being deprecated and to use the stash file instead.
/SM590000The stash file works with Content Manager OnDemand security, LDAP , and IBM i 
security.
/SM590000After you save the user ID and password in the stash file, remember to change the 
password anytime that you change the user’s password in Content Manager 
OnDemand; otherwise, the load fails. The ARSLOAD program can accept an expired 
password. However, the ARSLOAD program fails if an incorrect password is specified.
