Link access via shortcut with password

[freak7782]

So, I read to add "/networkclient:<COMPUTERNAME> /networkpassword:<PASSWORD>" to the shortcut to connect automatically, but it doesn't work.

If I disable security, I can put the networkclient in and it will connect automatically. However, if I enable security, it doesn't prompt for a password like I would expect. It simply presents that list of available servers as if the networkclient parameter were not specified. And specifying networkpassword changes nothing. Has anyone gotten this to successfully work?

Is this with 3.5.2?

Yes, 3.5.2. Just upgraded the other day...

Hey Freak,

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a password and the "automatic" switches don't seem to make any difference. I have tried with the IP address instead of the name, running the command from a dos window instead of a shortcut, but I always get prompted to choose the server and then enter the password. Same thing happened on 3.5.1.

Has anyone been able to do this without disabling security?

Thanks.

I've had the same issues with 3.5.3. I can get Link to automatically login to my backend, but only if the security is disabled. The second I enable it, I have to pick the tv server again even without adding the password tag.

Feel free to put in a support request for this issue.. Thanks!

A support request was put in for this issue before the release of 3.5.3 so I'm kinda curious as to why it's still a bug in 3.5.3

Sorry for the problem -- apparently the commandline was changed -- try this instead: /networkclientpasswordasswordhere

Thanks, can you update it in the sticky?
