Remotely Changing The Group Password - Nortel VPN Client User Manual

56 Chapter 2 Customizing the client

Remotely changing the group password

To provide a method to overwrite the group password information, the Contivity
VPN Client has a set of command line options for the different authentication
methods.
The syntax is:
extranet.exe -auth <authentication type> -user <username> -pwd
<password> -gid <gid> -gpwd <group password> -serverip <server ip>
-pin <PIN> -code <tokenCode>
-profile <profile name> -axentPath <axentpath>
altname <subj-alt-name> -alttype <number>
The <authentication type> can be:
0: User name, password login
1: Axent hardware token
2: SecureId hardware token
3: Simple GroupId, Password
4: Axent software token
5: SecureId software token
6: Entrust
9: MSCAPI
10: From profile
For example, if -auth=10, the authentication type is decided by profile. The
commandline switch always overwrites the ones in profile.
Some switches may be optional when using a profile as an authentication method.
If you provide the switches, the one specified in profile is overwritten. Some
switches, such as password and group password, are required. If the password or
group password is saved in the registry, they are optional. If you provide the
switches, the one saved in registry is overwritten.
Previous command line options did not cover all of the authentication methods
(using commas to separate authentication information), but they will continue to
work.
The following examples describe the different authentication methods.
