Command Parameters of Internet Client Requests 
If any of the mandatory parametersare not provided, the user will be prompted to provide more information.
If you want the user to provide the username and password every time, do not supply those parameters.
| Parameter | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -s | url | URL of the VTScada system to make the initial connection to. In response, the VTScada system will provide the a set of "Connection Addresses" that the VIC will use to establish a session and provide fail-over. This can include the realm, application name or GUID, page name and parameters. e.g. "http://myscada.example.com/myrealm/MainApplication/WTP?Site=Local". Any URL components omitted will be defaulted, if possible. |
| -a | realm | Optional. The realm to connect to. |
| -n | username | The username to authenticate with. |
| -p | encrypted password | The encrypted password associated with the username. This parameter should not be manually specified. When a user saves a VIC shortcut including the password, the VIC encrypts the password in a manner that keys it to the current Windows user account and the computer. Therefore copying a shortcut containing an encrypted password to any other computer or a different user account won't work. You may choose between -p and the unencrypted option, -t if you wish to specify a password. If you don't specify a password, you will be prompted for one. |
