Re: Connect to VPN from command line?



Yes, and again from my original question, how can I make the call
WITHOUT embedding username and password in the command line?

Windows Explorer can launch a network connection using saved
credentials.. I want to do the same thing from a command line.

Thanks for trying to help, I'm sorry that we have such a disconnect in
my question and your answers.

Here is what I quoted in my first reply for the rasdial syntax:

USAGE:
rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]
[/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]
[/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]

rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

Unless I'm seeing things, it has both the user name and the password
as a parameter. The phonebook is there too!

Yes, the phone book is an INI file with lots of info about the
connection. The username and passwrod are not there and I don't see
how knowing what is in the pbk file helps with the original problem..
how do I actually dial the vpn connection without putting username and
password in the command line?

As I said I can run rasdial and get different error messages depending
on whether I specify the "all" vs "personal" phonebook (the connection
info is in the all phonebook) but I can't get it to connect without
specifying username and password in the command line (even though it
is stored with the connection--although obviously not in the pbk
file).

Thanks,

Sam
