Signing into the Client Shell

Depending on the password policies at your site, you may be prompted to change your password when logging on to the system. You can also change your password after you log on to the system.

  1. Do one of the following steps:
    • Double-click a shortcut, if available, to the CliShell.exe file.
    • In the path\Bin\vc142\x64\Release folder, where path is the directory where COM is installed, double click CliShell.exe.

      At a command prompt, change to the Trapeze6 Bin folder, and type the following command: CliShell.exe [-switches]

      Switches are optional command line switches that you can include to change the login behavior. For more information, see Client Shell Command Line Switches.

    The User Login dialog appears.

  2. In the Login field, type your user name.
  3. In the Password field, type your password.
  4. Optional: To save your password, select the Save Password checkbox.
  5. Optional: To view or change additional information, click Advanced.
    The dialog shows additional fields: Profile (for the Service shell), Server, and Port.
  6. Optional: To communicate with a different Service shell, change the server and port for the Client shell. To start the Client shell without loading the workspace, select the Skip Workspace Loading checkbox.
