Application argument for password not working (mremoteng xca)

Open 573dave opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

I'm trying to add xca as an external application in mremoteng. When using this as the arguments to launch the app: --database=%USERNAME% --password=%PASSWORD% it will open the correct database, but not enter the password. These variables are being passed to "C:\Program Files\xca\xca.exe" Self testing in the command line reveals the same issue, it will load the database but not load the password. Is there a different argument? Or no allowed argument?

You need the "pass:" prefix. See: https://www.hohnstaedt.de/xca-doc/html/commandline.html#passphrase-arguments

--database=%USERNAME% --password=pass:%PASSWORD%

Or use env

--database=%USERNAME% --password=env:PASSWORD
