Configure Command Execution: Default UNIX Command Execution Properties

You can configure default run properties for the UNIX commands.

Follow these steps:

Click the Configuration tab, select Domain, and click Lock.
Click the Modules tab, right-click Command Execution, and select Edit.
Select the Default UNIX Command Execution Properties tab.
Enter one of the following Shell command interpreters to use as the default for the profile and for shell commands:
```
/bin/bash
```
```
/bin/csh
```
```
/bin/ksh
```
Enter the name of the default shell script file to interpret before starting a user process for which no profile is specified.
The profile can contain any noninteractive command that the shell interpreter understands.
Specify the user credential defaults.
1. Select one of the following values to specify that the Process operators use the selected option when user credentials are not specified:
  - (Default) Defaults to the user under which touchpoint is run.
    The Process operators use the user credentials under which the agent or Orchestrator process is running.
  - Defaults to the specified Default user.
    The Process operators use the user credentials that are configured as the Default user and Default password.
  - No default.
    The Process operators use the user credentials that are supplied at run time.
2. Consider the implications of specifying defaults for user ID and password:
  - To prevent users from defining and starting processes through CA Process Automation to which they otherwise have no access, specify a user ID with only necessary permissions.
  - Leave the user ID and password blank to force users to enter those values when they start processes through CA Process Automation.
3. If appropriate, enter the default shell account to use when starting user processes that lack a user name and a password.
4. If appropriate, enter the password for the Shell user account.
  Note: Passwords that are part of the Command Execution configurations are protected and cannot be modified through a program, referenced, or passed to external methods.
5. Reenter the Default password to confirm it.
