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.
Each agent has a unique DASCLI password that can be used to enable additional DASCLI functionality and which is displayed on the Computer Details page. You can also configure global DASCLI passwords that will work across all agents. Or, you can specify that when using password authentication, the command prompt is used. This is done by navigating to the Parity Agent installation directory (for example, c:\program files (x86)\bit9\parity agent) and running the DASCLI password command.
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.
Parameters

- Password for access to controlled DASCLI commands. The password must be between 1 and 64 characters long, and be in the ASCII character set because of command line limitations with older Windows versions. The password cannot contain the following DOS special characters: |><&%()@.[]{}:;^=!'"`~, .
- timeout
- Number of seconds for which command access is enabled. 0 means no timeout.
