Automate Sign-in to the Client

When you launch the Netwrix Auditor client installed on the same machine as the Netwrix Auditor server, the client connects to that server automatically using your current account. However, if you want to connect to a Netwrix Auditor Server installed on another computer, the client prompts you to specify connection parameters: server name and user credentials.

To automate the sign-in process, users who need to frequently connect to different Netwrix Auditor Servers (for example, Managed Service Providers) may configure the product shortcut: when you click the shortcut, Netwrix Auditor client will display the sign-in window with pre-populated server name and user name. You will only have to enter password.

To create a shortcut for automated sign-in:

1. Navigate to the Netwrix Auditor client installation directory and locate the AuditIntelligence.exe file (default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Netwrix Auditor\Audit Intelligence\AuditIntelligence.exe).

2. Create a shortcut for this executable file.

3. Right-click the created shortcut and select Properties.

4. In the Target field, the path to the executable file appears. Add the following parameters to the end:

   /s:server_name /u:user_name /specify_creds

   where:

   • server_name—your Netwrix Auditor Server name or IP address.
   • user_name— Netwrix Auditor user who will log in.

   Example:

   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Netwrix Auditor\Audit Intelligence\Audit Intelligence.exe" /s:host.corp.local /u:corp\analyst /specify_creds

5. Click Apply.

You can create as many shortcuts with different parameters as needed.
