Setting up file servers and logical folders from a command line

You can use ConfigManager.exe from a Command Line Interface (CLI) to perform file server and logical folder operations.
Note: This operation, performed from a CLI, is intended primarily for system administrators working with customers in a cloud environment. Customers working in an on-premises installation environment can use the Configuration Manager utility to accomplish the same ends.

Adding, updating, deleting, activating or deactivating a file server

Use this command line syntax as string, for example:

Configmanager.exe -U:FS -action:FS -configuration:DEV -mode:edit -servername:TESTIDMSERVER2 -servertype:I -urlorpath:https://nlbawidmmdemo01.infor.com:9543/ca/

-addlpropsasjson:"[{"key":"authentication_mode", "value":6, "readonly":2},{"key":"use_tenant", "value":"true", "readonly":1},{"key":"use_single_idm_user_as_default", "value":"true", "readonly":1},{"key":"provisioned", "value":1, "readonly":1},{"key":"workstationlogin", "value":"xxxxxxxxxxx", "readonly":1},{"key":"map_entity_with_logial_folder", "value":"true", "readonly":1},{"key":"use_auth_service_name", "value":"true", "readonly":1},{"key":"auth_service_name", "value":"TEST_IDM_SERVER", "readonly":1}]"
