Using the Application Services
CLI 20
The Application Services CLI is a Spring Roo-based client that communicates with the Application
Services server over HTTPS using REST APIs.
The admin user uses the Application Services CLI to register the Application Services appliance with the
vRealize Automation server. User accounts with the application publisher and deployer role can use the
CLI to deploy or tear down applications from the cloud. For information about user roles, see Chapter 5
Setting Up Users and Groups.
Note The password for the admin user is the admin password that was set the first time the appliance
was started.
Application Services User Names and Passwords Must Be
ISO-8859-1 Compliant
Although the Application Services user interface supports the unicode character set for user name and
password values, the Application Services CLI only supports the ISO-8859-1 character set. If you intend
to use the Application Services CLI, use Application Services user name and password values that are
compliant with the ISO-8859-1 character set.

Start the CLI Remotely
You can start the Application Services CLI from a remote machine.
As a best practice, run the CLI remotely to reduce server load and avoid shared CLI on the Application
Services appliance. The connection from the remote machine to the CLI is secured.
