This example shows how to specify the necessary authentication credentials for accessing the CSI Cloud using the administrator account jsmith@email.com and the password csiAdm!n123.
Open iT saves the hashed CSI Cloud credential file,
csistat.ini
, in the OpeniT directory, which is by default inC:\ProgramData\OpeniT
.

, and back up thelicpoll.xml
configuration file.Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Once in the directory, activate the collection of CSI Cloud data, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-csi-sample.active=true"

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_licpoll -# 1
Verify that the temp directory, which is by default in
