Command line parameter for start up

Command line parameter for start up

Provide a couple of command line parameters to start up vault!

  • Username
  • database
  • password
  • server
  • ....

This is a must! Especially for Vault admins!

Thank you for posting the Idea.

What problem are you trying to solve with this idea?

Having a command line to startup Vault could cause the admin's password to be clearly exposed. Do you have any concerns with this?

No, I don't have any problems with those passwords, because primary those startup-icons are on the admins machine. Often we have the situation, that an admin password is widly shared with all other admins, if you have lots of them. 

 

See below some examples: 

"...Autodesk\Vault\Explorer\Connectivity.Vault.exe" /USER:VaultAdmin /DB:TestVault /SERVER:localhost /PASS:ABC123

"...Autodesk\Vault\Explorer\Connectivity.Vault.exe" /USER:VaultAdmin /DB:TestVault /SERVER:file-abc-pc01

"...Autodesk\Vault\Explorer\Connectivity.Vault.exe" /USER:KeyUser /DB:ProdVault /SERVER:localhost /PASS:DEF456

"...Autodesk\Vault\Explorer\Connectivity.Vault.exe" /USER:KeyUser /DB:ProdVault /SERVER:ger-abc-pc01

 

Regarding the password it could work as follows: If no password is given via a desktop-icon the user has to type in his password at least. But their is no need to select all the other things like server, three point for the correct database, retyping a different user and all of this. Especially for key-users, admins and all people, how have to logon to different vaults this might be a perfect help. 

 

And by the way: With Autodesk Productstream Professional this was possible!!!!!!!

 

Thanks

Kay

I have a requirement to switch between two separate Vault servers (on Vault Pro 2022 and higher) with different Authentication methods ("Windows Account" and "Autodesk ID"). I need a way to quickly toggle between them. Solution can be a drop-down in Vault Pro client, URL or startup command line switch for a shortcut. This would also allow other members of a team to do the same. Password is not needed.

 

This is nearly possible with the following call to ADMS to generate ACR file as a shortcut. But this method is still incomplete without an option to define the Authentication method

 

http://<servername>/AutodeskDM/Services/EntityDataCommandRequest.aspx?Vault=<vaultname>

 

Alternatively, it might be helpful to provide an option in the XML shortcut file at the following location to switch between default auto login connection.

 

"%AppData%\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault Professional 2022\ApplicationPreferences.xml"

 

<Category ID="Login">
    <Property Name="AutoLogin" Value="True" />
    <Property Name="ServerName" Value="[ServerName]" />
    <Property Name="UserName" Value="" />
    <Property Name="SelectedAuthenticationType" Value="2" />
    <Property Name="Password" Value="" />
    <Property Name="DatabaseName" Value="[VaultName]" />
    <Property Name="Expanded" Value="True" />
</Category>
