46 Chapter 2 Customizing the client 311644-F Rev 00 To repackage your custom installation with the new icons and bitmaps into a self-extracting executable, and to make it simpler to distribute the custom installation to users (as one file instead of many), you can use PackageForTheWeb, available from InstallShield: http://support.installshield.com To automate the Contivity VPN Client installation use the command line option AUTO when running the installation. This causes the Contivity VPN Client installation to install with all default options selected. To run the automatic installation, enter the following under Start > Run: eac410d.exe AUTO If you are running a custom installation that is not packaged as a self-extracting executable (such as eac260d.exe), run the setup as follows from the Start > Run menu item: setup.exe AUTO You must respond to the license screen. The only other interaction required is if the installation requires files from the Windows installation CD. You can use the command line switch PreserveTBKFile to specify whether to overwrite an existing baynet.tbk file during the installation. If PreserveTBKFile is set to 1, the baynet.tbk file will only be copied if there is not an existing one in the users directory. Otherwise, the original file will be preserved. You can create and use your own README.TXT file for your custom installation. 1 Create the README.TXT with a text editor and save it in ASCII text format. 2 Set CustomReadme=1 in the setup.ini file under the [Options] section. 3 Copy the file into the setup directory. This will override the README.TXT CAB file that is included in the client software.
Chapter 2 Customizing the client 47 Controlling the client from a third-party application You can write an application and then have it establish a tunnel with command-line switches. For example, you can collect a user name, password, and destination address in your application, and with that information launch the client (extranet.exe) to establish a tunnel. You can launch the client from your application using the call: ShellExecute() or CreateProcess() To pass the user name and password that the user supplied to the application in the command line (the destination is the remote switch), use one of the following commands. If you are using an LDAP user name and password for authentication: Extranet.exe -U username,password,destination If you are using a RADIUS user name and password for authentication: Extranet.exe -R username,password,destination,groupid,grouppassword If the application also supplies a Windows message and Windows handle for the application, the Contivity VPN Client will notify the application when the connection is established. Table 5 lists all the command-line parameters that the client recognizes. Table 5 Command line parameters Switch User entry Description -h The Windows handle of the application launching the client. -m The Windows message to post to the handle, passed in -h, when the connection is established or fails to be established. -a Activates the connection profile to use. -o Opens the profile (allows the user to edit a profile).
