From an administrative command prompt (or remote deployment package), execute the RapidIdentity Client for Windows install with the required command-line options. Below are the minimum values that need to be configured:

  • Set API Key: APIKEY=
  • Set the URL: SERVER_URL=
  • Set the Domain: DOMAIN=

The Windows Client provides a mechanism to automate installation via the command line for administrative installations. This information could be used by administrators to create a Command Line script that is run during user login on machines the client should be installed on.

  1. Download the Windows Client Installer via the link at the top of this article
  2. Open the Command Prompt as administrator
    Right-click on Command Prompt from under the "Best match" section, and select Run as administrator
  3. Navigate to the location where the "RapidIdentity Client for Windows.msi" file is located
  4. Execute the installation command
    The install will proceed silently and will only reboot the device if /forcerestart is added to the command line.
    msiexec /i "RapidIdentity Client for Windows.msi" APIKEY=

    Or for silent installation:

    msiexec.exe /i "RapidIdentity Client for Windows.msi" /quiet /passive
                        APIKEY="

The Windows Client should proceed to install and should be present on the appropriate machines upon completion.

Note:Once the command has been run, the installation process starts in the background. However, it can be tracked in Task Manager if desired.
Important:
  • The Windows Authentication Client does not support the Remote Desktop Protocol.
  • If you're using external Logo URLs ensure that your firewall isn't blocking the URL.
