Executing iastool command-line tools from a script file
Note
The contents of the file are exactly what you would enter on the command-line. The
first entry in the file is the realm option - not the realm name, but the number you would
choose from the list presented to you if you run the ping tool without the realm option.
The second line is the username and the third line is the password. This file can then be
secured in such a way that it is readable by the iastool utility, but not by unauthorized
users.
Passing a file to the iastool utility
The following command shows how to ping a hub named east1 by passing a file to the
iastool utility using the -file option:
iastool -ping -hub east1 -file c:\BES\mylogin.txt
where mylogin.txt has the following format:
Default Login
Smart Agent port number
username
password
false
ServerRealm
The -file option requires that you supply a fully qualified file name (the file name plus
a relative or absolute path). When passing a file to the iastool utility, only the third,
fourth, and sixth lines are used, which are the username, password, and realm name,
respectively. The other lines must be present, but the information they contain is
ignored by the iastool utility. For example:
Default Login
12448
myusername
mypassword
false
ServerRealm
