Overview

This document describes the CentreStack Windows client command line parameters are their usage.

By default, windows client is installed under "c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\". The executable is ClientShell.exe. 

Usage

Start Windows Client for the first time

This command will start the client and sign on as the user specified. The user's security token will be cached after a successful sign on:

"c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\ClientShell.exe" /a:<accesspoint>  /u:<username> /p:<password>

For example:

"c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\ClientShell.exe" /a:https://cloud.sync4share.com  /u:test@abc.com /p:pass

Start Windows Client with a valid cached token

If the client had previously signed in successfully and there is a cached security token then this command can be used:

"c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\ClientShell.exe"

If the security token is invalid the user will be prompted to sign in.

Terminate the client without invalidating the security token

If the client is running, it is terminated but the cached credentials are not invalidated. 

"c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\ClientShell.exe" /exit

Logout Client invalidating the security token

This command sign the user out and invalidates the security token. The client continues to run, presenting the user with a sign on dialog.

"c:\Program Files\Cloud Windows Client\ClientShell.exe" /logout
