psCmd

Pretty Secure Command ( psCmd ) - run client Windows applications securely.

This program will allow the client to run a program such as an installation program or a utility program with alternate credentials securely. So if you want a client/user to be able to run a program with a different user account without logging out of their own session, this is the utility for that.

If your a network administrator it can help out in many situations. There was no intent in its design for it to be used outside of a private network. It is only to be used for good.

psCmd is also something like the "sudo" command in Linux but it does not provide a sustained session within its own functionality. If a non-terminating session is required use "cmd /k" with the programs command line to provide a non-terminating console session.

psCmd can be used and is intended to be used remotely, but does not connect to remote machines, it is intended that the client will be provided with a locally accessible copy.

ie - the client never needs to know the alternate credential information, you assign a client password, which the client can use to run the program. The psCmd program will decrypt the credentials, and run the requested program with the decrypted credentials. Personally, I use Winzip Self-extractor to bundle the completed package unless the package is not a deployment, or is being used for a utility.

To create encrypted credentials use the wcreds switch. You must input the client password, the alternate password and a text string at least 20 characters long. Give psCmd a try to see what it's really capable of!
