Hi All

I have a bat file which opens an application and logs in by providing a password. So currently the password is hard coded inside the bat file.

How can we parameterize the password and run the bat file ?

Hey @kkpatel

You can store the credentials in the Windows credential manager vault and retrieve it in the code.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Hey @kkpatel

Of course, the same mentioned above.

Once you store the credentials in the windows credentials, you can use Get credential method to retrieve the same.

Hope that helps

Hello @kkpatel ,

You can do as below.

Here text.bat is my batch file which is accepting an argument and I’m passign “6” as the value to the batch script.

Like this way you can pass the credential to your batch script. But you need to modify the batch to accept the parameters.
