Description
A password is a required parameter on all actions. Even when using an anonymous user, you must specify a blank password. We normally recommend people customize their start scripts (like atlassian, jira, confluence, etc .sh or .bat) to include your password and other regular parameters so you don't have to type them in on the command line. Even after hiding the password in the file, however, some operating systems still have mechanisms to that allow an administrator to see running processing commands including whatever password was typed. This support describes an alternative.
Specifying passwords in environment variables
We provide support for specific environment variables to be recognized and used as substitutes for passwords typed on the command.
The environment variables are:
| Environment Variable | Description |
|---|---|
ATLASSIAN_CLI_PASSWORD | Will be used when user specifies –password @ |
ATLASSIAN_CLI_DB_PASSWORD | Will be used when user specifies –dbPassword @ |
ATLASSIAN_CLI_TARGET_PASSWORD | Will be used when user specifies –targetPassword @ |
