Event Overview
|
Dealing with passwords and correct security contexts under Microsoft Windows when running scripts could be a real challenge from a security standpoint. Questions like "how to securely prompt for passwords in a script?" or
"how to securely hide passwords in a script?" are real concerns for administrators and script developers.
In this webcast we will demonstrate the various tools and techniques available under Windows to handle these challenges securely in a very easy way. We will show a typical Windows Script Host (WSH) example using Collaboration
Data Object (CDO) to carry alerts over secure SMTP sessions and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for monitoring purposes. The script sample structure and its usage will be described, so you can understand what the issues are. Next, we will examine
the various challenges an admin/script writer will face when developing their solutions.
