If these environmental variables are not found, the username <CODE CLASS="CONSTANT" >GUEST</CODE > is used. </P ><P >A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users.
