CLI arguments:
-group: Name of Policy Group to re-authenticate. Must match exactly including capitalization and whitespace. If the group name includes spaces and you are providing the name via command-line argument, be sure to wrap the name in quotes. No quotes are needed when providing the group name interactively.-dry-run: Show who would be forced to re-authenticate without actually doing it.-reset-creds: Not only force re-authentication, but also forget currently authenticated username for each device.-skip-cert-validation: Skip certificate validation when making API calls. Useful if you are using the-urlargument with an IP address.-url: Base URL to use in API calls. Defaults to "https://portal.myweblogon.com:8443".-username: Admin username used to authenticate API calls. (Password will be prompted interactively.)
Additional Notes:
The program can be executed without any arguments by simply double-clicking it. In that case you will be prompted to enter group name and admin username interactively (password is always prompted interactively). The base URL will be the default, -dry-run will be false, and -reset-creds will be false.
The password will not be displayed as you type it. Don't worry, this is expected.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- If the program reports zero clients in the given Policy Group, make sure you typed the group name correctly.
- If you get an error involving "401", make sure the admin username and password you provided are correct.
