Key file
Instead of specifying username/password parameters, you may choose to specify an
encrypted key file which contains the credentials.
This file can be kept in a secure location, or otherwise access-controlled.
To create
this file, use the createKey command.
cliq createKey login=10.0.1.2 username=admin password=secret keyfile=key.dat
cliq getGroupInfo login=10.0.1.2 keyfile=key.dat
DNS names
You can also specify managers as a host name, provided they can be resolved by DNS:
cliq getGroupInfo login=Exchange-1 username=admin password=secret
Storage System CLI
When commands are executed on the storage systems (via SSH), no authentication
parameters are required:
getGroupInfo
Integrated command shell
The CLIQ command line has an integrated shell that's executed by default when
connecting directly to a storage system, or running cliq.exe without any parameters:
