Create munged password before actual installation for automation

Issue/Introduction

After installation of EEM or UI, I can see the munged password in the created response file.
But is there a way to calculate/create the munged password before actually running an install? So that you can create a response file beforehand with
the desired munged password included? And use it as part of a totally automated install.

#CA EEM Configuration
#--------------------
IA_AE_DSA_PORT=509
IA_AE_EEM_FQDN_NAME=eemhost
IA_AE_EEM_OWNER=eiamblah
IA_AE_EEM_PASSWORD=9CBC49D09DEA17FA9C423AF50BB56B61

 

Web UI response file -
#CA EEM Security for Web UI
#--------------------------
IA_AE_WCC_EEM_PASSWORD=9CBC49D09DEA17FA9C423AF50BB56B61

 

 

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : WORKLOAD CONTROL CENTER

Resolution

The create response file option can be used to generate response files by setting environment variable
IA_AE_SKIP_INSTALL=1 and using command install.exe -r "response_file_path", Refer to "Record the Response File"
section from documentation link given below:
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/intelligent-automation/autosys-workload-automation/12-0/installing/Install-AutoSys/Fresh-Install-AutoSys-Using-Silent-Install.html

For encryption of password AES algorithm is used which is same as encryption used for autosys_secure or as_config
so if you have a product installed on a system then you can use these utilities to generate the encrypted values for
the response file.
