Use the '-u' flag

Correct.

Wrong.

The "trapsess" line will include the name of the user, but doesn't
need to specify the password, since this was given as part of
the "createUser" line.   That does include the plain text password,
but will then be replaced by an equivalent "usmUser" line (which doesn't)

But in either case, the "trapsess" line doesn't need to specify the
password, as long as this is configured as part of the user line.
The only time that you need to include passwords on the trapsess
line is if you *don't* have a 'createUser' (or 'usmUser') line for that user.
