Extracting credentials that are stored in the Windows registry
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server User Administration Tool uses the -p <password> command to extract and decrypt credentials
that are stored in the Windows® registry and then inserts the credentials into the command line options.
Example
BESUserAdminClient -p password1 -status
This runs the following command:
BESUserAdminClient -username smoser -password password1 -ad_auth -domain test.rim.net -status
String value requirements
To specify -set_client_auth values that contain characters in double quotation marks, you must surround the entire string with
double quotation marks. You must use a set of quotation marks to escape every embedded set of characters that are in double
quotation marks.
Example: Using double quotation marks to specify a work location nickname for a user
If you have two users with the same name, Sam Moser, one of whom works in Waterloo and the other in New York, you can specify
the work location for the user as a nickname.
BESUserAdminClient -username "Sam \"Waterloo\" Moser" -password password -status
You store this option and value in the Windows® registry using the following command:
BESUserAdminClient -set_p password1 -set_client_auth "-username ""Sam \"\"Waterloo\"\" Moser"" -password password"
