 ====== Command Line Server Argument ====== ====== Command Line Server Argument ======
  
 +The ''logonstring'' argument sets the Server logon information in the format ''user:password@server:port''.
 +
 +In the event that this argument is not passed the default will be ''batch:batch@localhost:5000''.
 +
 +===== Password interpretation =====
 +
 +When specifying the password value, the following rules will apply to the interpretation of this value:
 +
 +  * By default the password value will be treated as the path to a file which contains a single record representing the password, rather than the password itself.
 +  * If you wish the password value to be the literal password (rather than a file) the password should be prepended with a dash (''jsmith:-mypassword@server'').
 +  * You can also have the program read the password as the first record of ''stdin'' by prepending the password with a plus symbol (''jsmith:+@server'').
 +
 +In the event that the password is all upper case and 32 characters in length, the password will be
 +considered an MD5 hash of the password and passed to the server without subsequent MD5 hashing.
 +
 +===== Environmental Variables =====
 +
 +  * [[variable:tmsspwpath| TMSSPWPATH]]
 +  * [[variable:tmsskerberos|TMSSKERBEROS]]
 +  * [[variable:tmssnomd5|TMSSNOMD5]]
 +  * [[variable:tmssserverproxy| TMSSSERVERPROXY]]
 +  * [[variable:tmssuserinherit|TMSSUSERINHERIT]]
 +
 +
 +===== Examples =====
 +
 +Connect to ''localhost'' with User-ID batch, password in file ''c:\tapetrack\pw\batch'' on port **5000**.
 +
 +<code plain;>
 +-S localhost
 +</code>
 +
 +Connect to ''tapetrack.gazillabyte.com'' with User-ID jsmith and prompt for the password on port **443**.
 +
 +<code plain;>
 +-S jsmith:+@tapetrack.gazillabyte.com:443
 +</code>
 +
 +Connect to ''tapetrack.gazillabyte.com'' with User-ID jsmith and password of mypassword on port **443**.
 +
 +<code plain;>
 +-S jsmith:-mypassword@tapetrack.gazillabyte.com:443
 +</code>
