Unsecure way to set a password with acropsh
Hi,
When setting a password with acropsh the --set-password requires the password as parameter. I think it's needless to say that this is insecure behaviour. The password might be listed in the process view (shortly) and in the history of the shell.
The program should either:
- Ask for it with an interactive prompt when password is not specified
- Set system variable with password and use this, if set
Can you please fix this?
Greetings,
G
