Masking a p/w in OS XML file

Greetings LD Community,

I have been tasked to find a possible environment variable to mask our domain password in the XML file used to deploy a particular template.  We are using LD v9.0, and Windows 7(64 bit).

Is there something I can add to the XML that LANDesk will recognize and mask out the password?  The idea is to prevent anyone from reading this info if for some reason the XML is left behind post-deployment.

Thanks,

Rick S
