Today we’ll discuss on how to encrypt a MaxL script which uses an Environment Variable.
I encrypted the MaxL using the command given below.
However the resulting mxls file was still showing the same contents.
Spool file and on-screen data was revealing the user name and password, which is not the desired output.
So how to achieve this (encrypt).
I decided to encrypt the username and password separately as shown below and pass them to MaxL.
Later I updated the mxls file and added the keys as given below.
The bat file was updated to pass the keys (not the actual username and password)
![]() |
Old Bat File |
![]() |
New Bat File with Keys |
Now the spool file is not revealing the user name and password.
