Client configuration from 7.1 sr1

Aktualisiert am 16. Jan. 2013

A new tool/exe-file has been added to the MailLink suite. This file is called "SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe" and is deployed to the same directory as the other MailLink files.

This tool supercedes the old maillink in-registry configuration used in Maillink prior to version 7.1. This tool is only supplied in MailLink 7.1 SR1 and newer.

This file is a pure Command-line tool and is intended for the following purposes:

- partners to extract information about the current superoffice web environment
- administrators to be able to centrally deploy/(re)configure maillink

This tool is not intended to be used by end-users.

Using the file with /? parameters yiels the usage-statement:

SuperOffice Mail Link Client-configuration tool
===============================================
A simple tool for automatic Mail Link configuration

Usage:
SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe
[ -get|set ] [ property [ value ] ] [ property2 [ value2 ] ] [ etc ]

-get: Instructs the tool to GET configuration properties.
Invoke without properties to get list of valid options.
-set: Instructs the tool to SET configuration properties.
Invoke without properties to get list of valid options.
property: The property or properties to get/set.
Use '?' as value to list valid options.
value: The value to for the given properties. Only valid for SET operations.
Value will be partially validated.
Use -- to null out or reset pre-existing values.
-version: Reports the current MailLink version.
-?: Show this help.

 

You can get values with -get. invoking -get ? (or any invalid property) lists valid properties.

Valid property-names are: PreferredClient, SecondaryClient, SmUrl, CsUrl, SiteUrl

Same with -set ?:

Valid property-names are: PreferredClient, SecondaryClient, SmUrl, CsUrl, SoUsername, SoPassword

Note that the list of properties which can be get and set are not the same. SiteUrl cannot be set and Username and password can not be retrieved.

Properties to be set will be partially validated (Urls will be validated as such, client-types will be validated as such).

Using -get and a list of properties (seperated by space) yields those configuration values, in order provided by list:

> SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -get SmUrl SiteUrl
http://server/site/Services/MailLinkService.svc
http://server/site/

 

When using -set the tool behaves in the same way as with -get, that is, parameters can be a list of properties, but every property must have a corresponding value.

>SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -set SmUrl http://server/site/Services/MailLinkService.svc CsUrl http://server2/site2/
Property SmUrl successfully set to "http://server/site/Services/MailLinkService.svc".
Property CsUrl successfully set to "http://server2/site2/".

Each successfully configured value will get reported as such, but fields which cannot be extracted with -get will not have its value reported:

>SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -set SoUsername MyName SoPassword MyPassword
Property SoUsername successfully set.
Property SoPassword successfully set.

Attempting to set values properties with impossible values will report what is acceptable values:

>SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -set PreferredClient Web
Invalid property specified. Valid property-names are: SM_Windows, SM_Web, CS_Web, None

>SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -set SmUrl myserver/site
Provided value can not be used to set URL-type property. Are you missing a http:// prefix?

All incorrect invocation should produce a returncode, so errors should be detectable in code.

>SuperOffice.MailLink.ClientConfiguration.exe -set boo hoo
Invalid property "boo" specified. Valid property-names are: PreferredClient, SecondaryClient, SmUrl, CsUrl, SoUsername, SoPassword
