4.1.0 HP PolyServe Software command reference guide (T5392-96071, October 2010)

If your servers mostly use the same username and password, to simplify configuring
the .matrixrc file, you can specify those values following the cluster name. You
then only need to specify the values if they are different for a particular server.
In the following example, the values “admin,” “secret1,” and “default” are specified.
The “default” value tells mx to first attempt to connect to the default server, and then
try the other servers in the list. If “default” is omitted, the mx command will attempt
to connect to the servers in the order that they are specified in the list.
# production cluster
prod admin secret1 default {
srv1
srv2
srv3 admin secret1 default
srv4 admin secret2
}
Encrypted passwords in the .matrixrc file
Passwords are encrypted automatically when you use the Matrix Server Connect
window to specify the password. You can also use the mxgenpass.exe command
to create encrypted passwords for use in the .matrixrc file. (Using encrypted
passwords is optional.) The command is in the installation directory, which is typically
%SystemDrive%\Program Files\PolyServe\MatrixServer\bin. (The
command is also provided in the MxConsole .msi file and can be accessed at
%SystemDrive%\Program Files\PolyServe\ManagementConsole\bin
on servers where the Console is installed.)
The mxgenpass.exe command asks for a password and then displays the encrypted
version:
mxgenpass.exe
Enter password:
06c684c5:8cCRCT1aVCjzWb/TL7IHThBmrgY1wkBV6pElkzNr7ZI=
Replace the password in the .matrixrc file with the encrypted password. For
example, you could encrypt the password (secret1) for the entry:
srv1 administrator secret1
Then specify the encrypted password in the password field:
srv1 administrator
06c684c5:8cCRCT1aVCjzWb/TL7IHThBmrgY1wkBV6pElkzNr7ZI=
