Command line interaction with security
Most command lines are designed as local commands and have no interaction with the Security Server. The best practice recommendation is to use the related CLAPI, CLWizard function, or GUI tool.
The command line hcisiteinit
is
designed as a local command line to create a site that is installed on the Host
Server.
For example, the hcisiteinit
command line
only creates a site on the Host Server under Basic/Advanced Security mode. The Site
Init GUI tool, CLAPI, or CLWizard have log-in features for user authentication
(Basic/Advanced Security). They also check the user permissions to create a site
(Advanced Security) and uploading the created site to Security Server (Advanced
Security).
The Site Init GUI is a client-side tool that interacts with the Host
Server and calls hcisiteinit
to create a site on the
Host Server.
The Site Init GUI performs these tasks under Basic/Advanced Security mode:
- User log-ins to the selected site. It sets up the TLS connection to the Host Server and checks whether the user has run permission on the Site Init tool.
- Requests the Host Server to create a site with
hcisiteinit
and verifying if the user has run permission onhcisiteinit
. - Updates server.ini.
- Connects with the Security Server to upload the created site.
- Audits who and when logs in to the Site Init GUI.
