    I want to login to another machine or blade to start some applications.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Can the password be kept secure?

    Thanks,
    Dietrich

    what is "machine"? I guess you want to login into any OS running on that machine?
    In case of linux you can e.g. do this via ssh.
    If you want to script this, you have to either store the pwd plaintext on the one machine executing the command + try a bit around with expect.
    The more nice way is to solve this via certificate based authentication, but nevertheless be sure, that if you do not reduce the rights for that user on the remote machine, if machine 1 gets hacked, machine 2 is open for the attacker as well....

    e.g. (based on certificate based auth, remote ssh key already accepted, no Passcode for the cert...

    Yes, I mean another OS.
    How do you get around ssh asking for a password? Are you saying that the CBA will bypass (answer for) the password prompt?
