Re: Can "RUNAS" specify the password?

I have a situation where an application (PageMaker 6.5) is installed locally

not want this for security reasons.
I've found that if I load it using the "RUNAS" command, it will work.
However, this causes a command prompt window to come up that prompts for the
local userid (I created one). Can I set up a shortcut/batch file that will
provide the password? Obviously, I need to address the security issue, but
first things first. The userid/password for the local admin account is the
same as the domain account....
Hi,
Different RunAs products listed here, some with encryption
option for the password:

Other ones not mentioned in the link above:
SUperior SU (free, has a command line iterface)
http://www.stefan-kuhr.de/supsu/main.php3
LSrunas/LSrunasE (the latter with password encryption)

You may also want to check out PolicyMaker Application Security
(previously NeoExec), the main difference is that it does not require
the use of a second account, as most other RunAs derivatives requires.
