I have the ID and password in a file like this:
id:admin
pw:password
and the script reads them in using these lines:
ID=`grep "^id" $PWFILE |cut -d: -f2`
PW=`grep "^pw" $PWFILE |cut -d: -f2`
(using /bin/sh on Solaris)
and of course the file has 400 permissions.
If I ever have a need for other "secret" information in TSM-related scripts,
it will go into the same file.
