Command Line Logon Syntax

From TapeTrack Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Most TapeTrack Command Line Programs are built on a Client-Server architecture that allows the program to communicate with a TapeTrack Server via TCP/IP. This allows the program to be run on any machine with TCP/IP access to the Server.

To login to a TapeTrack Server you must provide information such as the Server IP Address and Port and also your User ID and Password.

The Syntax for passing login information is: 

-S user:passwordfile@server:port

Where

  • user is the User ID that you wish to run the program under.
  • passwordfile is a file containing one single record that contains the Password for the User ID being used.
  • server is the IP address or domain name of the TapeTrack Server
  • port is the TCP/IP Port of the TapeTrack Server.

If you do specify login information you must pass at least one of these values. Any value not passed will be substituted with the default values.

By default the password file will be a file in the default password directory with a name the same as the User ID.

Examples 

-S fred@tapetrack.abc.com
-S fred:fredfile@tapetrack.com
-S tapetrack.abc.com
-S tapetrack.abc.com:5001
-S :5001
