Description

-h

-ua=user ID[,password]

user ID of the user logged on or of any user whose password is to be stored in openFT or for whom a check is to be performed to determine whether a password is currently stored. In the case of local IDs, you enter the ID without the prefixed host name. In the case of global IDs, you must specify the ID together with the prefixed domain name, e.g. domain\user1234

If you specify -c, you must not specify a password here.

-s=partner

partner is the name of a different Windows system for which you want to store the user password there. This parameter can be omitted if the user password is to be stored on the local computer.

-c

This parameter allows you to check whether a valid password is stored for a user.

-c must be specified together with -ua, and no password may be entered for -ua.
