Passing credentials to the console.exe

[cslye]

What about using something like autoit and making a windows macro that logs you in? I know it is not a solution built into the app, but for a stand alone box that you are not worried about security, it should work.

We simply need to be able to bypass the username/password dialog box so that the console can be launched on startup without prompting for authentication.

One possibility would be if we can pass the credentials on the command line to control_center.exe and/or as args in a "java -Dusername=xxx -Dpassword=xxx ..\lib\console.jar" construct. Are there variables we can set for this purpose?

Another possibility would be passing the credentials in configuration.xml as Jodie suggested. Do the appropriate elements exist in the xml data definition??

A third possibility would be bypassing username/password authentication by using shared keys or some other authentication construct. Is this supported?

I see there is a bin\keymgr.bat that generates a .keystore but I have not been able to find any documentation on this.

Any guidance/suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Isaac and Jodie
