acpwd Utility—Check In and Check Out Privileged Account Passwords

Use the SAM Agent to obtain privileged account passwords from the CA ControlMinder endpoint. Running the SAM Agent using a command line lets you connect to CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management and check out, check in, and retrieve privileged account passwords.

This command has the following format:

acpwd {-checkin | -checkout | -get} -account name -ep name -eptype type -container name -[timeout <timeout>] [-nologo] [-help]

-checkin

Executes the privileged account password check in process.

-checkout

Executes the privileged account password check out process.

-get

Retrieves the privileged account password without executing the check out process.

-account name

Defines the privileged account password to check out or check in.

-ep name

Defines the name of the endpoint where the privileged account resides.

-eptype type

Specifies the type of the endpoint.

Example: Windows Agentless

-container name

Defines the name of the container that the account resides on.

-nologo

Specifies that the output displays only the password without any additional information.

-timeout timeout
