iscon login [-s -u -p |-e] [-X timeout>]

iscon login [--server-name= --server-username=
--server-password=|--environment] [--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 ‐u ‐p . 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.
