Password Encryption
!!! NOTE: To use encryption/decryption functionality, you must first register the CAPICom.dll.
See the Notes section at the beginning of this readme file!!!
/setpassword
!!! Warning: This function must be run separate from a modify or list
activity. /setpassword is designed to allow the user to store a username/password
pairing in an encrypted file for later use. (optional, but REQUIRED IF
/getpassword will be used)
/getpassword Once a username/password pair has been encrypted and stored using /setpassword,
this command can be used at the command line to retrieve the password associated
with a specific username. It is designed to avoid storing passwords in clear text.
See the examples below for correct usage.(optional)
Password Encryption Examples

This stores the username (mydomain.com\admin) and password (mypassword) in the default
credentials file (dfo_credentials.dat)
