20.1.5 Establishing a Secure Connection with the eMBox Client
If you use a nonsecure connection, all the information you enter, such as user names and passwords,
is sent over the wire in clear text.
If you instead want to establish a secure connection using SSL, do the following:
Š
Make sure you don't use the -n option in your command when logging in to a server. It specifies
a nonsecure connection. A secure connection is the default.
Š
Make sure you have the following Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) files in your class
path:
Š jsse.jar
Š jnet.jar
Š jcert.jar
-i Interactively run eMBox commands one at a time.
-s server Name or IP address of the eMBox server.
Default=127.0.0.1
-p port Port number of the eMBox server.
Default=8008
-u user User DN. For example, admin.mycompany.
Default=anonymous
-w password Password associated with the user specified with -u.
-m mode Login mode.
Default=dclient
-n Do not try to make a secure SSL connection. Use a nonsecure connection.
If you do not use this option, the eMBox Client will try to establish an SSL
connection, and you must have the JSSE files in your class path or it will
return an error. See
“Establishing a Secure Connection with the eMBox Client”
on page 595 for more information.
-l log file Name of the log file.
-o Overwrite the log file when opening it.
-T timeout How long (in seconds) to wait for responses from the server.
-L language List of comma-delimited acceptable languages in order of preference, such as
en-US,de_DE. This option defaults to the client system language.
-t [ tool .] task options Perform a single service with this connection. The string following -t should be
a valid eMBox command.
-b eMBox batch file Perform a group of services as specified in the batch file. The eMBox
commands in the batch file should be put on separate lines. Lines preceded
by # are comments.
