title: encrypt password in shell script
body: <p>I have a shell script which has a java command which has two variables --username and --password </p>
  
  <pre><code>java -cp "oracle.ucm.fa_client_11.1.1.jar" oracle.ucm.client.UploadTool --url="" --username="HCM_IMPL" --password="Welcome1" --primaryFile="/scratch/HRDataFile.zip" --dDocTitle="Department Load File" --dSecurityGroup="FAFusionImportExport" --dDocAccount="hcm/dataloader/import"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I dont want the password to go as free text in the shell script. Instead i want to encrypt it. Is there a way to do this ?</p>

  <p>In this example password is being passed as parameter which is not the case with my script. Secondly i cannot download aesutil or passwd as I am using SSH Tectia.</p>
