Nortel VPN Client - Running in Silent Success Mode

Chapter 2 Customizing the client 55
Configuring the Contivity VPN Client
To programmatically disconnect the extranet connection, post a WM_USER
Message (PostMessage) to the Windows handle of the IPsec client (call
FindWindow for the title of the Contivity VPN Client window). Set lParam to
True to disconnect the tunnel. If you set lParam to False and issue a SendMessage
instead of a PostMessage, then the IPsec client tells you if it is connected (True) or
not (False).
Running in silent success mode
You can launch the client application with -s or -S option from the command line
for running in silent success mode. This mode hides the common dialogs which
are displayed during the connection, providing less user interaction with the
client.
Use -s -a <profile> to use connection profile.
Use -s -u <username,password,destination> to activate a
connection with the LDAP authentication.
Use -s -r <username,password,destination,groupid,
grouppassword> to activate a connection with the RADIUS authentication.
Use -s-e <entrust.epf, password> to activate a connection with
Entrust authentication.
Note: To successfully terminate the client by command line with a
relative path argument (as required by DOS), the Contivity VPN Client
path must be included in the DOS PATH environment variable.
Alternatively, you can pass the absolute path to the client by command
line if it is within quotation marks. For example, from Windows Start >
Run > Open, c:\program files\nortel networks\extranet.exe -t will fail
unless the path to the client is contained in the PATH environment
variable. However, “C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\Extranet.exe” -t
will successfully terminate the Contivity VPN Client application.
