Peer to Peer Authentication

[mjpearson]

I've been researching and the more research I do, the more confused I get.

I have computer running in Workgroup mode. Someone has installed foreign server to allow me to run an application. I'm lazy and don't want to use a mapping. I want to build a command to use in the command line but I can't seem to make it work. The more I research, the more confused I get.

The command line has lots of switches and I need to authenticate to the server when I run the foreign application.

I've been trying to do something like this:

\\server\folder\application -a -b /USER:Administrator /PASSWORD:123456

What is the proper syntax?

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question but see if there is anything of use in these?

There is a "Manage Passwords" section obtained via typing Control Userpasswords2 in the Start Run box. In the resulting window you will get to it via the Advanced tab.

See if there is anything mentioned in "Manage Passwords"?

Another thing you can look at is this -

Thanks. I think the RUNAS is what I've been looking for.
Been doing even more research and looks like this syntax might work.

RUNAS /USER:remotecomputer\Administrator "\\remotecomputer\program.exe -a -b -c".

Going to give it a try later this week.

Sure been a lot of changes in commands and command line options since DOS 3.x. Probably time to do some study on all the new stuff.


Thanks again,
