ServerAddress
Refers to the URL of the Image Server. The following example would show the Smart Client’s login
dialog with http://ourserver in the dialog’s Server address field:
Client.exe -ServerAddress "http://ourserver"
Keep in mind that the Smart Client’s default authentication type is Windows authentication (current
user). Unless you change this, through using the AutheticationType parameter (described in the
following), the login dialog will look like this from the user’s point of view, i.e. automatically
displaying the name of the current Windows user in the User name field:
UserName
Refers to a specific user name. The following example would show the Smart Client’s login dialog
with http://ourserver in the dialog’s Server address field, and Tommy in the dialog’s User name
field:
Client.exe -ServerAddress "http://ourserver" -UserName "Tommy"
Note: The UserName parameter is relevant only for the authentication methods Windows
authentication and Basic authentication. You use the AuthenticationType parameter (described in
the following) to control which authentication method to use.
Password
Refers to a specific password. The following example would show the Smart Client’s login dialog
with http://ourserver in the dialog’s Server address field, Tommy in the dialog’s User name field,
and T0mMy5Pa55w0rD in the dialog’s Password field:
Client.exe -ServerAddress "http://ourserver" -UserName "Tommy" -Password
"T0mMy5Pa55w0rD"
Note: The Password parameter is only relevant if using the authentication methods Windows
authentication and Basic authentication. You use the AuthenticationType parameter (described in
the following) to control which authentication method to use.
AuthenticationType
Refers to one of Smart Client’s three possible authentication methods: WindowsDefault (called
Windows authentication (current user) in the login dialog), Windows (called Windows
authentication in the login dialog), or Simple (called Basic authentication in the login dialog).
The following example would show the Smart Client’s login dialog with http://ourserver in the
dialog’s Server address field, Basic authentication selected in the dialog’s Authentication field,
Tommy in the dialog’s User name field, and T0mMy5Pa55w0rD (masked by asterisks) in the
dialog’s Password field:
