Get CLI access through web UI authentication

To get CLI access

  1. Run the following command:

    bpnbat -login -logintype webui

    An access code is generated.

  2. (Optional) Run the following command if you want to get the code approved from your security administrator:

    bpnbat -login -logintype webui -requestApproval

  3. If you have the Command Line (CLI) Administrator role, you can use the web UI to approve the CLI access request using the access code.

    See Approve your CLI access request.

    If you do not have the Command Line (CLI) Administrator role, request the administrator to approve the CLI access request.

    See Approve CLI access requests of other users.

  4. Once the CLI access request is approved, go to the command-line interface and run the required command.

    By default, the CLI access session is valid for 24 hours.

    See Edit access settings.
