The eaccmd.properties file supplies host and port information to eaccmd.

In the eaccmd.properties file, which is located in the $ENDECA_CONF/conf directory on UNIX and %ENDECA_CONF%\conf on Windows, you can specify a host and port for eaccmd to use. (The default values are host=localhost and port=8888.) With this file in place, you do not have to specify the host and port on the command line.

If your EAC Central Server is not on localhost:8888, you must either edit the file to point to the correct host and port or continue to specify host:port on the command line. Any host:port specified on the command line overrides the settings in the eaccmd.properties file.
