Command-line parameters

The following command-line parameters are listed with their values and descriptions. The default value is listed in bold text in the following table.

Auto Update always runs WebExConnect.exe /m, so it saves the current settings, which are in system registry.

Note: If the registry value cannot be decrypted (for example, it was manually modified), an error is reported and the user cannot sign in.

For installation over an existing version, the command line parameters or the corresponding public properties in the MSI package will overwrite the current settings. If not specified, the current settings, NOT DEFAULT, will be used.

ARCHIVE
YES	Archive IMs

ARCHIVE_DAYS

HOMEPAGE

SUPPORT_URL
<SupportURL>	Support URL specified by <SupportURL> value. This value overrides the default URLs provided by Cisco WebEx. The support URL can be set to your Cisco WebEx Organization's first level support page at the time of installation. To do this, use the following command line parameter: `msiexec /i "C:\apsetup.msi" SUPPORT_URL=http://firstlevelsupport.mycompany.com GET_SCREEN_NAME_URL=http://register.mycompany.com` Where `mycompany.com` is the name of your Organization.
FORGOT_PASSWORD_URL
<ForgotPasswordURL>	URL for "forgot password" hyperlink, specified by <ForgotPasswordURL> value. The value overrides the default URLs provided by Cisco WebEx. Note: In organizations where Single sign-on is implemented, the Forgot Password? link on the client opens the URL the organization administrator has specified for this parameter. However, if a URL has not been is provided for this parameter, the Forgot Password page will display an error when you enter the user name and click Submit.
CONNECTION_SETTINGS_READONLY
Read-Only	Connection Settings are read-only. The entire string is encrypted and stored in system registry. If the registry value cannot be decrypted (for example, was manually modified), the default value "Read-Only" is used. If <Permission> is read-only, all fields in Connection Settings are disabled, including the proxy settings. The username and password fields should be enabled if "Connect using proxy" checkbox is selected.
Read-Write	Connection Settings are read-write.
USE_PROXY
UseProxy	Use proxy. The entire string is encrypted and stored in system registry.
NotUseProxy	Do not use proxy.
PROXY_NAME
<ProxyName>	Proxy name in Connection Settings. The value string is encrypted and stored in system registry. The default value is a special GUID to indicate no proxy server to be used. If no proxy server is used, this value is ignored.
PROXY_PORT
HTTPS=443 HTTP=80 SOCKS4=1080 SOCKS5 =1080	Proxy port in Connection Settings. The value string is encrypted and stored in system registry. The default value depends on proxy protocol value. If no proxy server is used, this value is ignored.
PROXY_PROTOCOL
HTTPS HTTP SOCKS4 SOCKS5	Protocol in Connection Settings. The value string is encrypted and stored in system registry. The default value depends on proxy protocol value: HTTPS – 443, HTTP – 80, SOCKS4 -- 1080, SOCKS5 -- 1080 If no proxy server is used, this value is ignored.
DEBUG
DEBUG	Enables creating debug trace logs. When enabled, this parameter creates debug log files in the Cisco WebEx user's `...\Documents and Settings\<user's profile folder>\Application Data\WebEx Connect` folder. Debug trace logs typically help in investigating any problems that may arise. The size of each log file is typically 10 Mb.
OFF	When this parameter is disabled, the `apConfig.ini` file appears as follows: `[Trace]` `# OFF or DEBUG or INFO` `Level=OFF` `EnableWidgetTrace=1` Additionally, no log files will be generated.
INFO	The MSI will not set any default value for the parameter. The `apConfig.ini` file will contain a default value for this parameter when Cisco WebEx is installed. When you specify the INFO value, this default value will remain unchanged. Additionally, it generates debug log files, which provide very minimal information. The log file size is typically about 1 Mb. We do not recommend setting the value for this parameter to INFO.
SSO_ORG_NAME
<OrgName>	Required when single sign-on is implemented for the Organization. The parameter enables single sign-on for the client and identifies the Organization to be used for single sign-on.
LANGUAGE
<parameter value>	Used for setting a default language. The following the parameter values: English = EN Chinese Simplified = ZH French = FR German = DE Italian = IT Japanese = JP Spanish = ES

When single sign-on is enabled, the Cisco WebEx client must be installed with a command specifying the organization name. This enables single sign-on in the client and identifies the organization to be used for single sign-on.

Use the following example for installing the Cisco WebEx client:

Example for installing the MSI file:
msiexec.exe /i filename.msi SSO_ORG_NAME=OrgName
Example for installing the .exe file:
filename.exe SSO_ORG_NAME=OrgName
