DCLI Secret Input

Some command options, more commonly when connecting to vCenter Server, are of secret type. Values for command options of secret type should be provided in a secure way.
You can provide values for secure options in two ways.
  • Provide the value explicitly in the command line.
    dcli> com vmware vcenter securecommand –secureoption
    securevalue
  • Provide the value when prompted after initially skipping the value.
    dcli> com vmware vcenter securecommand –secureoption secureoption:
