Description
aa connect establishes a connection to an Integrity Lifecycle Manager Server host. Most commands implicitly connect to the host, this does so explicitly. In fact, all the other aa commands call aa connect to establish the connection. The client supports multiple connections to multiple servers. You can use aa disconnect to disconnect from an Integrity Lifecycle Manager Server host. For example:
aa connect --hostname=abcFinancial --port=7001 --user=jriley --password=jriley
connects to the abcFinancial server, logged in as jriley.
Options
This command takes the universal options available to all aa commands. See the options reference page for descriptions.
