Hmm,
Just a few minutes after I hit the send button, I found the following

With ACS, there is no Windows credentials, as before. The only way to
have the credentials persist after a logoff would be to use a _netrc file.
Place a _netrc file in the user's home directory (often C:\Users\<user>).
The format roughly follows the documentation here:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.files/netrc.htm
We support the machine, default, login, and password directives. So
for you, it's probably a one-liner:
default login myuserid password mypw
After that's done, go to ACS, Edit->Preferences, and check the option
to use a netrc file for authentication. Of course, make sure that the file
and directory permissions are locked down accordingly.
Alternatively, one can set all system configurations to use
"Shared Credentials." If your passwords are the same across partitions, the
user will only be prompted once for the entire set.

But using a password file (in clear text too!) is absolutely a no go for me.
