wlogin

Description

Log in to a server.

Syntax

wlogin [host:port]

Where host:port is the host name and HTTP port number of the server to log in to. If not specified, the default is the name of the host where the command is run and port 8000.

wlogin saves credentials with case-sensitive host information. When running deploy or other tools, you must specify the host name exactly as it was specified when creating the wlogin session.

NoteInstead of using the host:port syntax, you can pass the server name, if it is defined in the local repository.

Usage

wlogin saves the credentials required to create an HTTP session on the specified server and establishes your credentials to run command line administration tools against that server.

Credentials are saved in individual files based on your operating system user name in the installation subdirectory Repository/Instance/com/sybase/djc/security/DataProtection. EAServer assigns read-write permission only for the current user, and encrypts the session data.

wlogin credentials remain valid until you call wlogout or remove the credential property file that matches your operating system user name. Even if you log out (or shut down) your computer, the stored credentials remain valid the next time you log in to the same computer as the same operating system user.
