lmvutil Command Authentication

The lmvutil command includes options to specify a Horizon administrator user name, domain name, and password to use for authentication.

The Manage Cloud Pod Architecture privilege, at a minimum, is required to manage a Cloud Pod Architecture environment. For more information, see Security Considerations for Cloud Pod Architecture.

Table 1. lmvutil Command Authentication Options

Option	Description
--authAs	Name of a Horizon administrator user. Do not use domain\username or user principal name (UPN) format.
--authDomain	Fully qualified domain name for the Horizon administrator user specified in the --authAs option.
--authPassword	Password for the Horizon administrator user specified in the --authAs option. Entering "*" instead of a password causes the lmvutil command to prompt for the password and does not leave sensitive passwords in the command history on the command line.

For example, the following lmvutil command logs in the user domainEast\adminEast and initializes the Cloud Pod Architecture feature.

lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --initialize

You must use the authentication options with all lmvutil command options except for --help and --verbose.
