The DASCLI password command provides authorization for the use of controlled DASCLI commands.
Command access is enabled with the specified password for the duration of the timeout seconds.
You can configure global DASCLI passwords that work across all agents. To do this, go to: Settings > System Configuration page, on the General tab, in the Agent Management section. Use the password on an endpoint by navigating to the Parity Agent installation directory (for example, c:\program files (x86)\bit9\parity agent) and run the command, dascli password.
Authentication can also be specified by user or group SIDs, which are configured during installation and which can be changed from the System Configuration page.
Parity Service is required to use this command.
