Notes on commands for setting up a link to an external authentication server
If command line control characters are included in the arguments of commands that will be executed
when specifying the settings to link to an external authentication server, escape the characters correctly
according to the specifications of the command line.
Also, you need to pay attention to backslashes (\) included in the arguments because they are treated
specially in the command line.
The following explains how to escape when executing the hcmdsldapuser command,
hcmdsradiussecret command, or hcmdscheckauth command.
In Windows:
If the following characters are included in an argument, enclose the argument in double quotation
marks (") or use a caret (^) to escape each character:
Spaces & | ^ < > ( )
A backslash might be treated as an escape character depending on the character that follows it.
Therefore, if a backslash and any of the above characters are included in an argument, use a
caret to escape each character rather than enclose the argument in double quotation marks.
Also, if there is a backslash at the end of an argument, escape it by using another backslash.
In Linux:
If the following characters are included in an argument, enclose the argument in double quotation
marks or use a backslash to escape each character:
Spaces # & ' ( ) ~ \ ` < > ; |
Note that a backslash in an argument is treated as an escape character even if the argument is
enclosed in double quotation marks. If a backslash is included in an argument, escape it by using
another backslash.
For example, if a shared secret to be registered by the hcmdsradiussecret command is secret01\
, escape it as follows:
In Windows:
hcmdsradiussecret /set secret01\\ /name ServerName
In Linux:
Use either of the following formats:
hcmdsradiussecret -set secret01\\ -name ServerName
