    Polyspace Access requires login credentials. You can enter the credentials at the command-line when you execute a command, or you can generate an encrypted password to use with other login options in automation scripts.

    To encrypt your password, use the polyspace-access -encrypt-password command and enter your Polyspace Access credentials. The command uses the username and password you enter to generate an encrypted password.

    polyspace-access -encrypt-password
login: jsmith
password:
CRYPTED_PASSWORD KEAGKAMJMCOPLFKPKOHOJNDJCBACFJBL
Command Completed

    Store the login and encrypted password in a credentials file and restrict read and write permission on this file. Open a text editor, copy these two lines in the editor, then save the file as myCredentials.txt.

     -login jsmith
 -encrypted-password KEAGKAMJMCOPLFKPKOHOJNDJCBACFJBL

    To manage your analysis findings through automated scripts, create a variable to store the connection configuration and login credentials. Use this variable in your script, or at the command line to avoid typing your credentials when you execute a command.

    set LOGIN=-host myAccessServer -port 1234 -credentials-file myCredentials.txt
 
polyspace-access %LOGIN% -create-project myProject
