Log in to the VTL Server

iscon login [-s <server-name> -u <username> -p <password>-e] [-X <rpc- timeout>]

iscon login [--server-name=<server-name> --server-username=<username>

--server-password=<password>--environment] [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command allows you to log into the specified VTL Server with a given username and password. Once successfully logged into the server, ‐u (‐‐server‐ username) and –p (‐‐server‐password) are not necessary for the other CLI commands with optional –u and –p arguments.

In order to use the ‐e (‐‐environment) parameter, you must set the following three environment variables:

■ISSERVERNAME

■ISUSERNAME

■ISPASSWORD

After setting these variables, the environment parameter can be used in the login command in place of ‐s <server‐name> ‐u <user‐name> ‐p <password>. Therefore, you could type the following to log in: iscon login ‐e

To set these environment variables in the bash shell, you must set three variables as follows:

■export ISSERVERNAME=10.1.1.1

■export ISUSERNAME=root

■export ISPASSWORD=password

‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds.
