Can I use the commandline to bypass the connection screen and the login

[taylorl]

I would like to know if I can run the nxplayer with a .nsx configuration or command line arguments to pass the ip, username and password.

I want to put this in a script to automatically login to a particular machine upon running the command

Something along the line of…

$C:\<path>nxplayer.exe <machine> <user> <password>

Hi.

If you can use a script, then you could configure a NXS file with the information you want to set and start the connection with the command

$C:\nxplayer.exe --session <NXS>

Related configurations keys (with their default values) in the NXS file are:

<option key="Server host" value="" />
<option key="User" value="" />
<option key="Auth" value="EMPTY_PASSWORD" />

Thank you Tor.

I still cannot bypass the connect screen.  The User and Auth settings do work once I select the configured connection.

See Attached:   I get the connect screen when I run the command equivalent to using a file called “connection.nxs”

I have set <option key=”Server host” value=”<ip of my server host>”

Any ideas?

Hi Taylor.

What is the command you’re using to start the client?

[taylorl]

Hi Tor.  Sorry…

Your original answer was perfect.  Thanks again.

Your question about my command was also the perfect place to look… If I had sent my entire command to you, you would have noticed that I had left out the extension for the session file.  It took me a while to see my error since it was so obvious 🙂

Works like a charm now.
