HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

When column help is not available, the following message appears:
No help for columns of command “<command>”.
Using SSL
The InForm OS provides a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for secure transfer of data between
the CLI client and system and is set with either of the following:
• The TPDSOCKSSL environment variable.
• The -sockssl global option.
NOTE: This is the default behavior. TPDSOCKSSL and -sockssl are present for compatibility.
The -nosockssl option overrides this behavior.
NOTE: The InForm OS CLI uses port number 5783 for secure communications and port 5782
for unsecured communications. When the TPDSOCKSSL environment variable or -sockssl global
option is set, the socket port defaults to 5783.
Setting the TPDSOCKSSL Environment Variable on Solaris and Linux
• To set the TPDSOCKSSL environment variable in Solaris and Linux, see the following system
output example:
$ TPDSOCKSSL=1
$ export TPDSOCKSSL
$ cli
Setting the TPDSOCKSSL Environment Variable On Windows
To set the TPDSOCKSSL environment variable in Windows:
1. On the taskbar, click the Start→Settings→Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click the System icon.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. Click Environment Variables.
5. Enter TPDSOCKSSL in the Variable box.
6. Enter 1 in the Value box.
7. Click OK.
Using the -sockssl Option
A secure CLI connection is also available for single instances of a command. On the command
line, enter –sockssl following the command name. See the following output example:
$ createuser –sockssl
Setting the TPDSYSNAME Environment Variable
By setting the system name, you are not prompted for your system name, user name, and password
when running the CLI, which can be useful for scripting.
You can specify the system name in the following three ways:
• Set the TPDSYSNAME environment variable.
• Use the –sys command line global option.
• Enter the system name when prompted.
