Question

Can BVMS Operator Client be automatically authenticated using parameterized start-up?

Answer

BVMS - Automatic login of Operator Client:

The BVMS Operator Client can be automatically logged in by using parameterized startup.

For this, a new shortcut to the OperatorClient.exe needs to be created, and the target of the shortcut needs to be adjusted. The text between ** needs to be adjusted to the specific situation.

"*BVMS installation directory*\bin\OperatorClient.exe" /user="*username*" /password="*password*" /connection="*ip_address*"

For example:

"C:\Program Files\BOSCH\VMS\bin\OperatorClient.exe" /user="Admin" /password="password123" /connection="192.168.20.120"

The connection parameter (/connection="*ip_address*") is optional. The username and password parameters are working from BVMS 5.0 onwards.

⚠️Warning

The username and password are stored as cleartext in the target of the shortcut, which could be considered a security risk.
