ServerAddress
Refers to the URL of the server to which the XProtect Smart Client connects (if connecting to an
XProtect Corporate system, this is the URL of the Management Server; if connecting to an XProtect
Enterprise, an XProtect Professional, an XProtect Express, or an XProtect Essential system, it is the
URL of the Image Server).
The following example shows the XProtect Smart Client's login window with http://ourserver in the
Server address field:
Client.exe -ServerAddress="http://ourserver"
The XProtect Smart Client's default authentication type is Windows authentication (current user).
Unless you change this, using the AuthenticationType parameter (described in the following section),
the login window automatically displays the current Windows user in the User name field.

The following example shows the XProtect Smart Client's login window with http://ourserver in the
Server address field, and Tommy in the User name field:
